Funnily enough I used offline downloads for the first time ever on the weekend. Had started watching a couple of things while waiting for a no-wifi flight. In general I download a Kindle book before a flight.

I am in the minority where I don't mind ads that much, so I wouldn't pay to remove them. Some of the best products I own or use came from ads.

Downloading for offline viewing is one of the major attractions.

You can always use something like 4Kdownloader for downloading YT videos. Works well

Would now paid for movies on YT also be free under the premium lite?

No, there are no free movies on any paid premium YT plan.

Funnily enough, I had run up a VPN to Australia and then completely forgot it was still on after a laptop reboot and got offered the YT Premium Lite offering, which I signed up for at AU$8.99 per month, first month free. Hopefully it will continue.

I did use their original Lite offering until they removed it as an option a while ago.

Was looking again at the YouTube premium offers tonite and there were only $17 per month. Looked again an hour later and was offered 2 months free so I signed up

Just got an email from TY and the price is going up to $23.99. No sign of Premium lite in NZ so maybe time to cancel it and go back to the adblocker. It will be a pain when casting to the TV with ads every 7 minutes or so.

Same here. Will give it the chop and see if I can get a cheaper deal with a different account.

Dont you mean $22.99? That is what my email states.

$17.99 to $22.99 is a rude jump in price though. Will make me seriously consider ditching it.

Correct. Typo on my part. Still too much for an adblocker

I guess it isn't as bad as last year when I went from $9.99 to $17.99, but this is still quite the hike. I have YouTube running on my other computer 10 or so hours a day, so will likely continue to pay but if this becomes a yearly thing then I will need to start looking at other means...

I just wish they would release the Duo plan here that is available in Austraila. Its only my wife and I but we have to pay for a family so we can both watch our different content without ads.
