Most of the content on YouTube is free! You can even subscribe to YouTube Premium, which costs $12 per month. For an additional $18 per month, you can buy a family plan and share access with five other family members. YouTube also offers a student subscription for $7 per month. You must verify your student status annually to get access to YouTube Premium.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Premium\"><\/span>YouTube Premium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to watch your favorite YouTube videos offline, you will need a YouTube premium subscription. The service allows you to download videos with up to 1080p resolution. Moreover, you can save the video versions of podcasts. The advantage of YouTube Premium is that you won&#8217;t have to worry about the ads that will interrupt your video experience. To subscribe, follow the instructions below. Once you&#8217;ve completed the process, you can start watching your favourite videos.<\/p>\n<p>The most obvious benefit of a YouTube Premium subscription is the fact that you won&#8217;t have to watch ads anymore. You&#8217;ll enjoy ad-free viewing and you&#8217;ll be supporting your favorite content creators, too. YouTube combines all video revenues and distributes them to creators according to total views. Because of its strict monetization policies, many videos are left without advertisements or any income from them. But with YouTube Premium, creators can still earn money from their work even without ads.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Music_Premium\"><\/span>YouTube Music Premium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to hear your favorite songs without ads, YouTube Music Premium is for you. You can download your favorite tracks for free, but the ad-free version only supports a thousand songs. You can still stream the files you have uploaded for free, and you can also make playlists with your favorite songs. Moreover, YouTube Music Premium has a better discovery algorithm than the free version, so you will be able to listen to your favorite songs even when you lock your phone screen.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube Music Premium has some features that you&#8217;ll love, including offline listening and background play. You can also download music and videos so that you can listen to them whenever you want. The subscription costs $8.99\/year, but the benefits outweigh the price. Depending on where you spend most of your time, you might find YouTube Premium worth the extra money. If you use YouTube frequently, you&#8217;ll appreciate its many extra features, including offline viewing and the ability to download songs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Red\"><\/span>YouTube Red<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tired of ads interrupting your videos, you might consider upgrading to the YouTube Red subscription service. It&#8217;s a monthly subscription service that removes advertisements from all videos. Originally launched as a way to stream music videos ad-free, YouTube Red expanded in October 2015 to cover all videos. The only exception is paid content on YouTube, such as premium channels and TV shows, and if you&#8217;re not a subscriber, you may still see advertisements in videos.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube Red was a subscription service that allowed users to stream ad-free YouTube videos and original shows. However, Google has since discontinued the YouTube Red subscription plan and replaced it with YouTube Premium, a free alternative to YouTube Red. While YouTube Red&#8217;s subscription fee is equivalent to $9.99 per month, there&#8217;s no doubt that you&#8217;ll find many reasons to subscribe to YouTube Premium. The premium service includes ad-free music, offline video downloads, and access to all of the YouTube Originals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Red-Soon-To-Be-Premium\"><\/span>YouTube Red-Soon-To-Be-Premium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re one of the many people who have been disappointed by YouTube&#8217;s recent price increases, you&#8217;re not alone. The company split its streaming business from its DVD business in 2011 and subsequently raised its prices. Users quit the streaming service in droves and the company lost 800,000 subscribers in the process. While YouTube&#8217;s price increases are not quite as drastic as Netflix&#8217;s, they could stave off blowback. YouTube Red users seem confused by the changes, though.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube Red was previously bundled with Google Play Music and was priced at $10 per month, but it is set to become YouTube Premium on May 22. YouTube Premium costs $2 extra per month and will come with ad-free videos, background play, downloads, and original series. Existing subscribers will keep their existing prices, and new subscribers can sign up for $10 a month.
