Sadly, its going up to like $19 a month :(

No it's not. It's going up by $2 to $13.99/mo. Considering how much time I spend on YouTube, I feel like it's worth it.

Unless you know a way to decouple youtube from youtube music, im not wrong. I would happily pay that price for it too.

That's because you're looking at it in the iOS app, so they add ~30% to make up for Apple's cut of in app purchases. If you buy it directly through the YouTube website, it will be cheaper

I think I've seen news rumors that they're testing an ad-free YouTube-only plan that doesn't include YouTube Music. (edit: https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/2/22605455/youtube-premium-lite-pilot-benelux-nordics-experiment-ad-free-subscription)

But the reason you're seeing $18.99/mo is because of the Apple tax. Go to https://www.youtube.com/premium to see the actual price.
