Youtube Premium Lite was a half-price service that Google were running in the Nordics and BeNeLux. You got ad-free Youtube and nothing else.

I received this:

Your Premium Lite membership will be discontinued

Hi XXX,

Thank you for being one of our first Premium Lite members.

We’re writing to let you know that after October 25, 2023, we will no longer offer your version of Premium Lite. While we understand this may be disappointing news, we continue to work on different versions of Premium Lite as we incorporate feedback from our users, creators, and partners.

We will cancel your membership on October 25, 2023. Your Premium Lite benefits will expire at the end of your billing cycle, and you will not be billed further.

To show our appreciation, we’re offering a 1 - month trial of Premium (even if you’ve had a trial before). With Premium, you can watch videos ad - free, offline, and in the background. Plus, stream music ad - free in the YouTube Music app.

If you’d like to redeem this offer, you’ll need to cancel your Premium Lite membership or wait for it to be canceled for you.

You can find more information in the YouTube Help Center.

Sincerely, The YouTube Premium team




This is what I want. Just Youtube w/o ads, but it is $14/month/USD. TY Premium includes music; Spotify costs $12/month/USD. Premium is over priced. Youtube really doesn't want you to buy Premium, they want the data more than the money.


I think they want both...
