Take note- the pricing has gone up a bit. More info in my video here, along w/ ways to save money on YT Premium: ruclips.net/video/nlIVe-YKCO4/видео.html
I saved a number of videos that have been put into thing, now most of them are "hidden". Does Premium change that? I would have paid for Premium and downloaded them if I knew he was going to hide them!!!
I kind of feel harassed into getting it because the commercials on RUclips are ridiculous, but since I watch RUclips a lot I'll grudgingly say that for me it's worth it.
I agree, I feel bullied by ads...smh.☹
@@Ann-ub4mfThis is me, and I hate the fact that I'm getting bullied into RUclips Premium
The same. The ads weren't too bad before but then they started showing more and more. Right now RUclips is the only place to go for commentary reviews and all sorts of content. There's nothing else. But then Disney Netflix Amazon are now doing ads as well with a cheaper ad supported tier. Amazon was free but they're planning to do ads unless you upgrade.
Yes I agree with you, it depends on what you spend most your time listening to or watching. Like me I know I go straight to youtube to watch movies or listen to music thats it. I dont use spotify or pandora or any music app at all. Been just using youtube with ads forever. Then decided to make the leap and try it, its night and day difference. Because all those ads omg lol. I like it im super pleased, but if you have spotify or any other music app for awhile is not worth it. Because there always cheaper priced and you are used to going to them as your primary source for music changing to a new platform can be difficult unsatisfying cause your so used to it and the price is higher. So I say just stick to spotify or pandora, since the reason mostly people change is because is cheaper.
Yep, that’s their business model. Aggravate people into subscribing.
Been a RUclips Premium subscriber for over a year. No regrets. I subscribe to close to a thousand channels and I love that all the videos aren’t being interrupted by ads. For those who aren’t aware, there is the option of an annual plan… but i had to find it by doing a Google search instead of going through RUclips settings.
There is!? Really I need to know about that now. How do I find it?
Close to a thousand? You should really stop seeing RUclips.
@@JAY-bb7yc I have over 2500 at the moment. Had my account since around 2008.
@@JAY-bb7ycyou sure you don’t have aspects you need to change about yourself before judging others?
You're definitely getting your money's worth as the time you spend on ads would be at least a few hours. I wish there was a cheaper option.
I’ve been a RUclips premium subscriber since they started the service. I watch a lot of videos and I don’t know what I would do without it.
I used to subscribe to it. I really liked the no commercials and the background play, but paying that much per month just to skip commercials was a little too expensive. I never used the music and wish they offered an option without the music for a lower price.
Yeah because a shit ton of ads playing is much better. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
@@PebblesOTB PC has ad block, but I'm considering getting it cuz I already pay for YT music but I absolutely hate running into ads on my phone
Once you add RUclips Premium and get used to the “premium experience” of no ads it’s very difficult to go back to regular RUclips with ads.
I recently reviewed my subscriptions and I stopped RUclips Premium. Right now RUclips is almost impossible to watch due to the number of commercial interruptions.
They have a $6 plan for students. You can also pay annual to save. The ads are really annoying to the point it's intolerable.
Avoid any recurring payment to anything Google owns, including YT. The negative long term effects of this are not worth it, they still sell your personal information for profit, even if you manage to back out of it. It’s bad news all the way around. The harassment and bombardment of ads on YT is specifically designed as a method of coercion, so you will pay for a Google-owned service.
I trust you and you are amazing 👏 ❤
Background play used to be a thing like 13 years ago, a lot of the features in YTP were free before youtube decided to put a dollar sign on them which i understand over time they had to make money somehow i just wish they added more to "Premium" to make it premium or have different tiers because in the next month or so there's gonna be people signing up just so they don't deal with ads due to the adblock war that has started. Eventually i will have to join the Premium pack as YT is basically my cable tv replacement I haven't watched cable tv in over a decade.
I have not had cable for ages and ages, since I first started living on my own as it is just not worth it for me. As for ads they are not a big deal for me when they do pop up since it is pretty much just like being bombarded with scam callers😵💫
Do you still see ads in the interface app while you scroll down thru different videos?
I mean NOT the ads that show before the actual video plays
Id like to have a streamline scrolling, as i see alot of ads as you scroll
I wish there was a RUclips music app for Xbox, PlayStation and other TV based systems. That feels like the main thing lacking that Spotify and even Apple Music now offers.
You mention that we can down load music, can we down load mp3s
(just audio) from youtube videos,
like a song video or an instrumental of a
youtube song-video.. ?
What the heck ? It's $13.99!!! When I signed up for Premium it was $9.99. I signed up when it first launched. I didn't even know the change. Smh
The ‘Glut’ of advertising is ridiculous… they back you into purchasing premium! You still see brand deals and creator inserted ads which will piss people off thinking they should see nothing….
Do you get nfl Sunday ticket with a RUclips premium subscription and how much is it?
I'm gonna finally break down and get RUclips premium soon. *Sigh* you win google. The ads on RUclips are crazy these days and unfortunately I'm pretty much forced to cough up the $120, though I feel bullied into it rather than it being an option. The amount of time I will save not watching ads is worth it, but I sure wish they wouldn't force bundle features I don't want, like RUclips music. I think it's overpriced at $120 a year. If they have a $7-8 option which only gave ad free and nothing else I'd feel better about it. I'm also a RUclips creator, and I feel like I should be given a discount considering I'm making regular content for the platform.
Just subscribed to RUclips premium and thanks to your video which saved me £4 p/m by not going through the Apple app
Do you know if there's a setting using an Android phone playing RUclips premium music the volume keeps changing / track?
If you pay for RUclips premium youtubers need to shut up about their sponsors as well. In other words stick to the subject I am paying for premium so I don't see or hear ads.
I was originally pretty skeptical and decided to try RUclips Premium for a year (I am retired).
But since I have discovered this video, I have realized my original purchase was worth it, to avoid all the ads.
I will definitely renew.
Still get them saying....now a word from our sponsor...in other words another ad. Can't escape them completely but senior discount is a good idea.
I love it. In a way you kind of don’t need apple or Spotify music if you have premium bc you get free playlists use and you can turn off screen while you listen to music
I’ve had RUclips Premium ever since it was known as RUclips Red in 2018. Got it for the first round of Cobra Kai. I’ve kept it ever since. I had a little hiccup and briefly lost the Premium subscription and REALLY FELT the decline in the experience on RUclips. Premium is worth it for me.
Same here! Although recently I’m thinking of canceling because I can’t find much when I search for things. It keeps pushing “Shorts” on me.
Wasn't it cheaper in 2018? $4 or something?. I like it I just got it, but it's 13.99 now.
@@geebee380 And how is that a lot of money, seriously? You pop in to Starbucks couple time for coffee and 13.99 is gone. It is nothing. For someone on Western salaries it is absolutely worth it
Is this correct that you get access to RUclips Premium Music with this? There aren't limitations of any kind?
@gmartinez9045

I’ve been using RUclips premium or RUclips Red since it begun: I had no idea no premium members couldn’t do background play. That’s crazy to me.
Presenters are now putting their own loud obnoxious log winded ads on youTube premium right in the middle of the video. I resent this immensely and I wish some other premium subscribers would join me in protesting. I have asked these presenters and RUclips to stop doing this as I pay $13 a month for it. That’s considerably more than I pay for Netflix. It’s infuriating. I don’t mind if they are selling their own merch lik t-shirts but without ads. These are actual, very loud obnoxious ads for products and I am sure these characters are getting paid handsomely for it.
I agree. the moment I hear "shout out to our sponsor" ... I click to the next video.
Life is rough I know but scroll ahead ...duh hey
Hello, I like your video, it's very informative. I noticed you mentioned a student price, which made me think they should also offer a senior price. Youth are not the only population that deserves to benefit! If you have any ideas how to communicate this to youtube, I would be very interested in hearing/reading. I also thought maybe somehow, someday you might be able to casually mention this idea. I have subscribed to your channel. I wont pay for premium at this point just because of the high price. Thank you for your time, energy and great positive presentations!
They need to bring out different tiers. A lite version for a cheaper cost to remove ads and a full premium service. I guarantee they'll make more money and have more customers if they did that.
Most people have a music service they are happy with, having even higher quality video is pointless, specially for those who's connection will buffer, I don't know anyone who's interested in RUclips original programming so none of it is really beneficial for most.
If you do like all that then premium is great but they need a smaller ad removal tier as I guarantee so many people aren't subscribing because of the cost and aren't interested in all the additional premium content.
Can I create different playlists for various genres if I have this? That would be what I'm most interested in
👋 do you still have to pay for the movies if subscribed?
I got RUclips TV but I find with all the ads that I don't watch it. It's not worth the ads. Given the price increases it's going to go bye bye. I'm thinking I could watch RUclips premium instead.
I have a large recorded library but I can't watch it whenever I want because sometimes something I want to watch is streaming live. I want to be able to skip the ads but if it is live I can't even if the show was previously recorded because it is recording again, and again.
There is an enhanced bitrate option for some shows, but when I look at bitrate, it says AV1 2500kps for regular and vp9 2500kps for enhanced bitrated and av1 is supposed to be the better codec. So is there something wrong?
This is outside of my wheelhouse. Anyone else care to chime in?
$22.99 for the family is for sure too expensive just for no ads and music.
Up to 5 people. Say you divvy it up that a little over $4 each
@@ajbarraza8894 I get the math
Exactly they used to make RUclips originals but they stopped was supposed to be a rival to Apple TV ect
@@bradleywilson5641 RUclips Red was a cool addition to the streaming wars.
I signed up for utube premium and I still get commercials. What do I do?
Agree. Just got ytp and ad free experience + the music app + more support for creators makes me justify buying the annual plan 😂
I want to get premium bcuz I want to do youtube exercise videos without ad interruptions on my TV. Can I do that?
Just looking to stop the ads, I don’t care about whatever else they offer
If you have an Android phone you could get RUclips premium for free...
@@carlitos05 How?
Exactly! Unfortunately many of the videos still have in-video ads from their "sponsor" as part of the actual video. That should not be allowed!
There's also a yearly version its 99.99 per year
I watch youtube on PC so background play is ALWAYS enabled.
Looking for a resolution…I got a new iPad and when I transferred all data…while it shows I have the premium subscription…it is not working at all…I get all the long ads again as if I didn’t have premium at all …any help would be appreciated since no one knows why this happens…
Did you try to transfer with an Apple app? If yes, that may be the problem. As he mentioned in the video, there is an extra cost by the Apple App. Hope this helped.
It’s 19.00 a month now and I don’t listen to the music :/
What about movies?
Background play work on iPhone with the screen off just hit play on the phone screen
Do you local channels like abc cbs nbc and fox
They just raised prices yet again. Nope not paying more for the same shit. Vemo here I come!
After i upgraded to Premium, YT is not working for me. I cant search, play videos, scroll. it is buffering, freezing (not only YT but it slows downa nd freez other work) and lagging and the quality is worst ever. Once i switch to other YT acco with no premium i have no issue AT ALL!! why is this.. So im going back to use YT with adblock, atleast YT workes exccelent
My heart sank so deep for a found out you can't go live on RUclips premium. You can't go live the premium package is not worth getting.
Be certain when you cancel subscription you're ready for ADS GALORE I sometimes get the same ad playing three times PLUS the additional ads.....I call bull#shi#
I'm currently trying you tube premium trial, I listen to music and watch music videos mostly. I'm torn between that and getting a Spotify Premium. Spotify seems to work better in my car then the RUclips premium app. Which one do you think is better between Spotify or RUclips premium?
Can't say I'm a huge music aficionado but between RUclips Music and Spotify, I'd say Spotify is PROBABLY the better of the two for music and app integration. On the flipside you only get the ad-free videos on YT w/ YT Premium.
Ad blockers are nice because i only want to watch videos without the spam videos/ "ads". I have no reason to switch my music to RUclips as its a network hog (kills bandwidth to play audio) so if they are smart they will make an affordable option (not Netflix price) for normal people that use RUclips for what it was for originally a creator centered sharing platform not a money grabbing site that makes you pay for features you would/ will likely never use.
I got in via Apple at $15..99. Thanks for tip. I’ll fix that for next month.
my husband is invalid can not leave home You Tube is his window to the outside world it is on 24/7 I will get the Premium You Tube for him but I am still not clear how much is the Premium You Tube
Ok I just found out I’m paying $29.99 for a family plan when it’s just me and my significant other. I’ve had this account for many years and didn’t look into it till now wow
I have subscribed to you tune premium for YEARS. I recently got a new phone. What is the problem???????
omg thank you so much ive been paying it through apple for about a year im about to swap my payment over to pc
you're welcome!
No bundle for RUclipsTV subscribers is a dealbreaker for me.
How can I change payment method from Apple to google payment?
Here's Google's help doc: support.google.com/youtube/answer/9517178?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop
I don’t have background play
It would be great if RUclips wouldn’t crash when I try to see my downloads 🤷♂️
I had youtube premium for some time, but it never got rid of the video ads, only for music. Not worth it just for music. I canceled with the price increase.
In tried RUclips premium and it still put ads on including shall i stream it when I was still subscribed.
yt premium is not wohrt it bc i buy yt p and it got cancel and i saw a ad 😢😢
Thank you for the very useful info mate! You rock! Two thumbs up for you mate👍👍
I don't like RUclips ads on RUclips makes me insane..lol but RUclips Tv is awesome..got once never changed going about 2 years now..
RUclips is an excellent platform, but there are some negative trends such as youtube premium. RUclips premium is about charging money for the same thing you used to do for free. But now they are trying to force people to buy it with constant advertising interference. If you want it to be like before, pay. So, I conclude that new times have come, and they are no better than they were.
I feel like it would be something I would subscribe to if it was just to remove advertisements. It's the only thing that tempts me beyond background play and I just don't see the value in it when it's just my mom that would use a family plan.
It's worth it, at least to me, for one single reason: ADVERTISEMENTS SUCK.
I prefer it..I use the music as well.. especially once I figured out they have all the music I like and obscure music that I thought I could only find on Amazon... you will get hit with adds from other apps.. which I assume means paying more.. ain't gonna happen..but still worth it.
I only pay Php 239 or $4 USD per month. This already includes my wife and 3 kids. Not bad
The most successful RUclips original program is Cobra Kai. However this program became more popular after it moved to Netflix after season 2.
Premium members can still watch the first two seasons on YT, though. Same thing w/ Step Up: High Water. Moved to STARZ for S3, but Premium members can still watch first two seasons on YT, too.
But if I get premium am I taking away earnings from RUclips content creators? Like I want to support Big Baby and Andy Makes Movies and the Brad Server Curly G channel with all my viewing ???
Good question- you don’t take earnings away from creators. We still get a small chunk of money for each view from a YT Premium member.
content creator do not want us to signup for Premium because it may affect their revenue as all the money comes from adds
I have fre RUclips and have background play
I was already skipped the cool of buying RUclips premium, and when I bought it, I was OK tell I realize they started spiking up their prices I’m not paying for that shit
You should update your prices. Unless I'm doing something wrong the price has crept up to $14.99 for all!
Made an updated video here: ruclips.net/video/nlIVe-YKCO4/видео.html
💯 percent worth it. No ads, background play, and all the free downloads for videos and music? Bargain at the twice the price
I have been paying for youtube premium. The first couple of months it was great but recently I'm getting ads ads ads. Why is that?
Hmm,... well isn't what's supposed to happen. There might still be the sponsored sections of videos RUclipsrs film themselves. But anything else is weird. Here's an article I found with some troubleshooting steps, hopefully this helps: www.androidauthority.com/remove-youtube-premium-ads-3384953/ Otherwise I'd try to contact RUclips's customer service (which admittedly is kind of lackluster but worth a shot).
I reluctantly signed up thinking to cancel after free trial....Been a monthly subscriber because we play various music and videos for our business
I want to quit premium but how can I keep my music that I download?
If you quit Premium it won't let you keep the music you downloaded unless you downgrade to RUclips Music.
How do you pay for this? Does have to go through google play?
Credit card or Paypal and I BELIEVE it's all processed through Google Pay unless you go through a third party.
Here's their help document on payment methods for RUclips: support.google.com/youtube/answer/10239146?sjid=6821871863701980309-NC
YT has a monoply on this type of service, charging a premium only opens the door for new platforms. We all know how HBO started, now look at its competition
THABK YOU FOR THE APPLE STORE TIP!!!!
Great imformation
I have RUclips Premium but I wish I had more control of where my money goes. So if I like a video it get's more and if I dislike a video it get none. It's the only subscription service I use as watch lots of RUclips videos.
There’s always the “Super Thanks” button 😅
I got RUclips premium during the election in 2020 and was tired of all the stupid election ads . I use it to listen to music when I ago anywhere because you get RUclips music with your subscription, I watch a lot of RUclips so for me it’s worth it. I’ve thought of cancelling but never had the heart to cancel.
Thank you brother 🌟
They kept going up on there monthly price so I canceled and now get harassed by there aweful commercials
RUclips ads are becoming overwhelming, I guess I'll be paying the 12 a month. I've been a RUclips subscriber since 2006!
You’re the O.G.!
12-April-2024: The biggest cash heist is RUclips raising subscription by almost 50%! Out of sheer corporate greed
I grew up with commercials so it doesn't bother me😂
Yes! Lol commercials are my time to get up and do something lool
I'm still waiting for youtube premium lite thing that google was testing. It's no ads only plan. I prefer it over current plan because I don't need that spotify ripoff thing.
i didnt watch the video but short answer is: NO !
RUclips premium saves my overall insanity seeing countless advertising
Many thanks mate for this info👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 can you also confirm that picture quality is better on Premium or is it the same???
You're welcome! It's the same but you can always adjust picture quality in the settings on a video.
Is YT Premium limited to one device?
Up to 10 devices: support.google.com/youtube/answer/6308288?hl=en
Great tip for subscribers via Apple devices. 😊
Thank You.
I should just delete Spotify since the music was surprisingly good.
Getting ready for bed.
Puts on “the first 48”
1st Ad (15sec) can’t skip. 2nd ad (5 sec) count down then skip
Video playing … slowly drifting off
Ad (17 sec) college is tough that’s why I have a car 🚘 is great
** me 😠 🤔 maybe it’s short and will play my video after it’s done so I don’t have to get up… nope
2nd ad.. (27:19) if you or a friend is suffering from addiction.. like wtf
Thanks
Thank you, Ian!!!
thanks for this video...now im a premium member
If you watch a lot of RUclips then it is 100% worth it! I couldn't go back to regular youtube if I tried at this point. No ads + downloads to watch offline definitely makes it worth it to me!
2002: shows friends. Hey check this guy out doing a kickflip down a 17 set and breaking his board. Bomb done
2024: shows friends. Hey you seen the video of the news about the fire in the forest? > plays.
Ad.. 15 sec then skip
Second ad.. 10 sec back to school fun for all get new supplies when you’re ready (skip)
Main video: breaking news the fire has killed several and is spreading deep into. (Ad) go to the general and save tons of money. I love it my car loves its. Isn’t that right max? Omg (skip)
Police say it’s hard to keep up and knowing this people should back out.
F RUclips right in the face!
I love you tube premium. I listen to utube music as my main player. I got the family package. Definitely won't go back
I love RUclips Premium. Been a subscriber since it launched. Love it. no ads interrupting, heaven!
