minus-squareSuperIce@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 years agoNo it’s not. It’s going up by $2 to $13.99/mo. Considering how much time I spend on YouTube, I feel like it’s worth it.

minus-squaresquidzorz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-22 years agoI think I’ve seen news rumors that they’re testing an ad-free YouTube-only plan that doesn’t include YouTube Music.
