Just double checked this. Currently I am paying for a family plan which gives me 5 users and it costs $18.99 CAD. The family plan with 5 users is $22.99

I believe this recently increased because I kinda ticked off when they launched Stadia and sent all the YT premium customers free Stadias that came with Chromecast Ultras and I recall feeling like an idiot for not having the right plan and Google not being willing to switch me over and give me the free hardware.

What perks? I don't understand what benefit exists other than blocking ads they no longer allow me to block.

I was also a GPM user though I will admit everything I used has finally made its way to YTM. So I can't complain about this anymore and it still a superior offering to the yo-ho alternatives.

The price is not the issue. $3/month is incredibly reasonable, especially given how much I use YouTube. The issue is how they are bullying people into paying it, at that point it doesn't matter how good the deal was.

Including her 6 month old grandchild that she brought to the casino?

The TL;DR historically is that rises in wages led to more spending which increased demand and caused inflation. That's an incredible oversimplification obviously, but that's the meat and potatoes of it. People have more money to spend, companies can charge more, your individual dollars become worth less and less over time.

Nowadays with wages stagnating (even reducing in some situations) and immigration being so prevelant we have a situation of more people having less to spend but overall more money being injected into the economy having a similar inflationary impact.

Don't misread what I wrote and think I am blaming immigration for the current situation, it is entirely the regulatory bodies who dropped the ball by encouraging immigration with no proper economic plan to handle the consequences.

$3/month really means nothing to me, considering I already $18.99/month for a YouTube music family plan.

My issue is them purposely attempting to make my experience worse and then selling what they have arbitrarily taken away back to me.

If you product is so valuable the only way a conpany can sell it is to attack your user's experience so you pay them to stop it really starts drawing too many similarities to a mob protection racket.

EDIT: In order to be fully transparent, apparently inflation made a fool of me, the YouTube premium family plan has increased to $22.99/month so the difference would be $4 per month, not $3.

It’s not about the lifts.
It was never about the lifts.
It’s about masculine insecurity and the deceit that surrounds it.

Do you know what it's also not about? Any of the issues that should matter.

As a poor person am I ever glad the conclusion they drew was we made people so poor we can't afford to lose this fund.

Absolutely unfair, not fair like violating the charter rights of children by making it a law to purposely misgender them.

Fuck this Hank Hill look-a-like shitbag.

This type of argument is why establishing motive is so integral to criminal prosecution.
