    YouTube’s pricing is a mess. Here’s a quick breakdown of their offer here in France :

    • YouTube Premium (so video + music): 12€/m

    • YouTube Music Premium (music only, obviously): 10€/m

    One would assume based on this that Google values YouTube at only 2€/m per user. But anyway, let’s take a look at their family plans for a laugh:

    • YouTube Premium (6 users): 18€/m

    • YouTube Music Premium (6 users still): 15€/m

    Let’s put aside the price discrepancy. 18/6 = 3€/m per user. All signs point to Google being ok with making between 2 and 3€ per user per month, yet such an offer doesn’t exist. Hell, make it 4€, even. People would flock to it. But no, they’re just being greedy.

      They are not OK with 2 euro per user. This is just to get people used to using paid versions for dirt cheap before they accumulate solid subscription count. After they they will either remove this family plan or make it more restrictive/expensive just like Netflix started to do

      Yeah I pay a buddy 8 every 2 months for music+no ads (+all the other stuff)

      It’s definitely worth it for me but it’s definitely a fucked up pricing model for single users. There should be a sub or something for people to link up 6 people so they can all save monies
