I Ditched YouTube Premium—but Lite Just Changed My Mind
1 min read
Summary
The writer was a previous YouTube Premium subscriber but cancelled their subscription as they felt they didn’t need all of the features and Youtube kept increasing its prices
Youtube then released Youtube Premium Lite, a cheaper version of its Premium service, which the writer thinks is perfect for their needs
Youtube Premium Lite allows you to watch most adverts on the platform, except for music and Youtube Music, where you will still see adverts
Other places you may see ads in are Youtube Shorts and when searching for content
With the Lite option, you also cannot download content to view offline or play content in the background, functionalities that were available on Youtube Premium
The main draw for the writer is the reduction in ads, which the writer feels outweighs the cost of the new Lite option compared to the previous Premium payments
