YouTube Premium users across the globe are facing significant price hikes as Google increases subscription costs in over a dozen countries. This follows earlier price jumps in various regions, including the United States last summer. The latest increases vary by region, with some countries experiencing hikes between 30% to 50%. For instance, in Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy, the Family plan will rise from €18 to €26 starting November, while the individual plan will increase by €2 to €14.
Countries affected by these changes include Ireland, Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, UAE, Switzerland, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Colombia, Thailand, Singapore, Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic, and Denmark. Although most Reddit reports are from European users, the price hikes also impact the Middle East, Colombia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. YouTube had already raised its subscription prices in India by 15–20% in late August.
They all are free, no subscription required
And sorry Apple users, I don’t know what option you have cuz I don’t use Apple.
Freetube doesn’t seem to work anymore (for me at least) as Google went hard on blocking all invidious instances and proxies…
Change your API backend to LocalAPI in the settings. It still works that way on Freetube and Libretube
How do you do that?
Thanks. Seems to work for now, we’ll see. Couldn’t watch anything yesterday :-/
Works fine for me
Which instance?
Local API, not invidious api
Working fine on librewolf so far.
Also Revanced
iOS user here, uYou++ is quite good, but only a mod for the regular YT app, not a complete alternative.
iOS/iPadOS: Safari + AdGuard (+ Vinegar (optional))
macOS: Safari + AdGuard or Firefox + uBO or FreeTube
As an iPhone user I like to use YtLitePlus, it’s pretty much the same user experience as using revanced on android, maybe even a bit better. I’d like to have an alternative client such as NewPipe but hey, we can’t have everything.
reminder that firefox + ubo works on android too.
I switched from FF to librewolf. Less convenient, more privacy, no pesky G**gle partnerships, afaict.
I use to use tubular, but it stopped working and I’m not computer savy enough to fix it. Can anyone offer some assistance please? It gets the infinite loading icon and then gives me an error
