I don't really know how people can expect YouTube to exist without some sort of income.

The age of free content is coming to a close as VC funds dry up. Serving video is expensive.

In reaction to this news from YouTube, I signed up for Premium. $12/mo for my main source of content? Easy decision.

You can also subscribe to YT premium lite for 6$/mo. Basically YouTube premium without YouTube music and background playback.

Wish this was available in Canada. I'm paying $25 a month when I've never even touched YT music
