Besides shock over a 58% jump in YouTube premium, did you decide to stay subscribed or to forego? That's the question. They are taking a gamble that most people will absorb the increase, just as people have for Netflix, Disney, LinkedIn, etc. As a family we continue to review all these automatically reviewed subscriptions on a regular basis as combined, they are no longer insignificant.

I stayed for now....But I am now reevaluating all the subscriptions I have. I let go of Disney and potentially Netflix is next.

The increase from YouTube Premium is kind of brazen. A one time jump by over 50%!

There are too many subscription but so little time and usage. netflix and disney+ price hike was not that significant so I stayed on. 58% is alot and thinking how much to utilise to make it's price worth. they should consider the price hikes against the other players first before implementing - focus group maybe?

I love your content! can I post on LI and credit you?

Hey Lynette,

The 58% is a price shock for me too! It has happened because consumers (like me) have little other choice left. Over time, one monopoly replaces another.

Thank you for your appreciation. Please feel free to share anything that resonates with you.
