    Also in defense of Google - I’m still grandfathered in to the $8 plan for YouTube premium because I signed up and have remained subscribed since 2013 when they offered promotional pricing at the beginning of Google Play Music. Years later, they added YouTube Red (now Premium) to the subscription which REALLY sweetened the pot. But they’ve never bumped my subscription price up.

        Not for long. I’ve been getting the “You’re using an ad blocker” banner for the couple of days. I’m not losing my Gmail account over it.

          Sounds like the very thing to motivate you to ditch your gmail account, don’t let them hold you hostage!

      I signed up for the original family plan, and they raised my prices multiple times.

      They also killed off YouTube premium light.

      I think you’re only paying the original price cause of a glitch.

      Same here. At $8 it’s an amazing value. I plan on keeping it until they kill off parts of it or raise the price.
