    Since YT Music costs $10.99 and YT Premium costs $13.99, I’m wasting $10.99 per month for the music service i don’t use. Give me just UA-cam premium without music for $3.

      This is exactly what I think too. I do understand that UA-cam needs to generate the money somewhere so all of us can enjoy the service, but the pricing policy is just not fair. Taking in to account of how many users UA-cam has, the premium should cost about $3. I'm not trying to avoid paying for UA-cam, I just don't like when such a global and super rich company like Google still trying to rip off ordinary people to get even richer.

      This! There's no way they make $14 per user by making them watch ads, it's probably less than $1.
      This is literally the only argument I hear against YTP.
      If they priced it fairly, under $5, they could still make more revenue per user and way more people would sign up.

      Increasing he price from $10 to $13 Canadian was a game changer for me. I used it one year at the cusp of the increase ($10) and then gave it up. If they lowered the price they would likely have more people subscribing. I don't watch a lot of videos but it is a pain to watch anything on youtube as they bombard you with adds. So not only do I no longer subscribe, I rarely use it anymore. I would likely subscribe at a lower rate ($5) with limited ads, like I do with Netflix.

    I don't understand why companies think that interrupting someone while they're viewing and/or listening to content with ads will automatically make them want to buy their product. Never have I ever been interrupted by an ad and said to myself, "Yeah, I REALLY want to buy that." If anything, I was just super annoyed. They're actually working backwards. It's a reason why people are working so hard to bypass ads. People hate them.

  • @fiddley

    I think they collect data on how often an ad break makes users stop watching, so now every time they serve up an unskippable ad more than 10 seconds long, that's my signal to stop watching and go browse something else for a while. I seem to get a lot fewer long ads now.

      Closing or navigating back and then reopening video often helps to skip unskippable ad. Sometimes I have to reload video several times this way, to finally get it without ad. But no way I'm watching a 10 sec ad just to find out that they queued a second unskippable ad after it.

    • @goodun2974
      @goodun2974 19 днів тому

      Another thing UA-cam does is that if you modify the subscription settings so that they can't track you for purposes of data collection, they also take away your ability to block and/or report annoying, offensive or scam ads and advertisers; I also lost the ability to tag a channel with "not interested" or "don't recommend". And then there are the automatic upgrades, which always seem to make usability of the service and site worse rather than better.

    Been on the fence for subscribing to YTP for a long time. I considered the price a bit of a stretch. Said and done, I subscribed. 2 weeks later they announced the price increase. If the current price is a bit of a stretch, the new price is unrealistic and there is no way I will continue with YTP at that price point. I don't even want the music part. So, back to as before.

    I've been paying the South African price for years. However, just a few weeks back I was told by email that my membership will expire at the end of the month because of some kind of changed South African law regarding payments. I don't know whether that's truly genuine or that maybe UA-cam is fibbing a little, but either way I think I'll start paying the normal way now. I've been getting cheap deals for a long time. Considering how I use UA-cam more than any other video service, I suppose it's fair enough that I pay the full price now. Still, for something that was almost too good to be true, I got a surprising amount of time out of the workaround.
    It wasn't just South Africa, come to think of it. For a couple of years beforehand I was on Turkish UA-cam Premium. 🤣

    Well I've got a complaint. I'm about to stop using UA-cam altogether! It's become more ads than real content. You MUST press skip otherwise it will be 100% ads one after the other. To me that's just the filthy, disgusting greed of the Google pigs. The frequency has also become unbearable to the point where I can't watch anything in peace and the cost is dicin' refuculous. I feel like I'm being forced into choosing either to pay what could be used to feed a small village in a third world country or not watch at all. So if Google continues to withhold an offering with a happy medium they can get f****d.

    (In my case, it was Gentle Whispering, an ASMR channel - probably makes sense to advertise on them, since the ads can be overly disruptive for those)
    I loved the "luxury" for the two months, but I don't plan on paying for it for now, it's pretty expensive in comparison to other streamings here in Brazil!

When an ad starts I just switch to another channel. It is just me, but I am not paying for these channels anymore. UA-cam was ok when after 5 seconds you can skip ads. But theyhave made that harder and ads much longer, several in a row. I only have free UA-cam and mostly just browse videos until ads then look for something else.They don't offer much gor what they charge.
