In addition to offering ad-free viewing, this service allows you to download videos and listen to music in the background. It costs $8.99 per month, but the benefits far outweigh the price. If you&#8217;ve been wondering if YouTube Premium is worth the money, keep reading! We&#8217;ll cover all the pros and cons of YouTube Premium so you can make the right decision.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Premium_has_no_ads\"><\/span>YouTube Premium has no ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are interested in seeing a YouTube video without ads, YouTube Premium is for you. Ads have become increasingly unsavory for a variety of reasons, including the fact that the service is expensive to stream and host. YouTube is finding alternative ways to generate revenue, such as YouTube Premium, to remain competitive. However, many people are concerned about the cost of using YouTube Premium, particularly if they have multiple children. For this reason, the company is launching a free, extended trial of its service.<\/p>\n<p>To start, you can watch YouTube premium without ads for a free month. To subscribe, you&#8217;ll need a valid credit card and agree to recurring billing. You can cancel the subscription at any time during the month, but some customers have reported that their cards were charged even though they had cancelled the subscription. Nevertheless, the free trial period gives you the chance to test YouTube Premium without having to commit to a recurring subscription. Plus, you&#8217;ll also get other perks like offline viewing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_allows_you_to_download_videos\"><\/span>It allows you to download videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a way to download your favorite YouTube videos, you can download them to your smartphone. The YouTube app on your phone will have the option to download the videos, and you can watch them even without an internet connection or cellular data. This is especially convenient if you&#8217;re going to be in a remote area or flying on a plane without access to Wi-Fi. The videos you download will be stored in your phone&#8217;s Library.<\/p>\n<p>To download a video, you can use a free software program or an application. You can either download individual videos, or a playlist. Most apps allow you to download multiple videos, and some even let you create a playlist and download it. If you&#8217;re using a mobile device, the process is more involved. You have to keep the video window open during the process, and you can&#8217;t download the video while it&#8217;s in the background. If you&#8217;re using a browser, you can choose a resolution and change the download settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_lets_you_listen_to_music_in_the_background\"><\/span>It lets you listen to music in the background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While you&#8217;re not streaming videos, you can still listen to music in the background with YouTube premium. Its features include on-demand music, ad-free audio mode, and background play. You can even download music and watch it offline. This makes it a great choice for people who like to listen to music on the go. If you&#8217;re considering upgrading to YouTube premium, you should check out its free trial.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube music also offers an ad-supported tier, but it doesn&#8217;t allow you to play your music in the background. That limitation is being lifted for free users, starting with Canada. Fortunately, it will roll out to other regions soon. Background listening was previously limited to users who have paid for the YouTube Music service. However, it&#8217;s possible to listen to music in the background for free, with the premium option.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_costs_899_per_month\"><\/span>It costs $8.99 per month<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While YouTube premium is a great way to stream videos, it can also cost you a pretty penny. Currently, it costs $8.99 per month and is available on several devices. You can also save money by downloading videos to your device before leaving Wi-Fi. One hour of 720p video uses only 870MB of data, while an hour-long 1080p video uses 1.6GB. So, downloading videos before leaving Wi-Fi is a great way to save on data, and also reduce your phone bill.<\/p>\n<p>Another drawback to YouTube Premium is that it does not offer many YouTube Originals. For instance, the show Cobra Kai is available on Netflix but is not available on YouTube Premium. Plus, smaller YouTube channels are unlikely to be selected for a YouTube Original. Compared to YouTube Premium, Netflix has better-quality shows, and it costs just $10 per month if paid annually. If you&#8217;re a heavy YouTube viewer, this subscription may be worth it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YgaDgz32MLo\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"235\" width=\"420\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is YouTube Premium Worth the Money?
