  • Just double checked this. Currently I am paying for a family plan which gives me 5 users and it costs $18.99 CAD. The family plan with 5 users is $22.99

    I believe this recently increased because I kinda ticked off when they launched Stadia and sent all the YT premium customers free Stadias that came with Chromecast Ultras and I recall feeling like an idiot for not having the right plan and Google not being willing to switch me over and give me the free hardware.

  • I was also a GPM user though I will admit everything I used has finally made its way to YTM. So I can't complain about this anymore and it still a superior offering to the yo-ho alternatives.

    The price is not the issue. $3/month is incredibly reasonable, especially given how much I use YouTube. The issue is how they are bullying people into paying it, at that point it doesn't matter how good the deal was.

  • The TL;DR historically is that rises in wages led to more spending which increased demand and caused inflation. That's an incredible oversimplification obviously, but that's the meat and potatoes of it. People have more money to spend, companies can charge more, your individual dollars become worth less and less over time.

    Nowadays with wages stagnating (even reducing in some situations) and immigration being so prevelant we have a situation of more people having less to spend but overall more money being injected into the economy having a similar inflationary impact.

    Don't misread what I wrote and think I am blaming immigration for the current situation, it is entirely the regulatory bodies who dropped the ball by encouraging immigration with no proper economic plan to handle the consequences.

  • $3/month really means nothing to me, considering I already $18.99/month for a YouTube music family plan.

    My issue is them purposely attempting to make my experience worse and then selling what they have arbitrarily taken away back to me.

    If you product is so valuable the only way a conpany can sell it is to attack your user's experience so you pay them to stop it really starts drawing too many similarities to a mob protection racket.

    EDIT: In order to be fully transparent, apparently inflation made a fool of me, the YouTube premium family plan has increased to $22.99/month so the difference would be $4 per month, not $3.

  • Normal civilized armies have rules of engagement.

    Like if the US claims you have nuclear weapons and the UN says you have no evidence your war is illegal, you do it anyways. Murika Fuk Yah!

    That whole war was a glorified terrorist attack in my eyes.
