As an entry-level subscription, the new tier won’t offer several benefits in the full YouTube Premium ($13.99 per month) subscription, like downloads, background play, or the ability to watch music videos ad-free.
I wonder how much electricity is wasted on this alone. Probably so many people leaving their screens powered on just to continue listening to something without it stopping.
I don’t get the people shitting on this. It’s a very fair plan. Something I’ve been wishing existed for the past month, even. Like the article states, it’s for people who use YT to watch TV (me).
I just hope there’s a yearly plan to get a little bit more of a discount. Student plan is the same price but no yearly plan, so it comes to ~$90 per year.
Tempting, but I’ll stick with free sponsorblock. I could be convinced to switch if they started paying me though
