Price hikes are being tracked over on Reddit, and so far customers in the following countries are being warned about higher prices: Belgium, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates.

The biggest single plan price increase is in Norway, where prices are up 42 percent. YouTube Premium in Norway used to cost approximately $11.33 per month, but now it is just over $16. In Sweden, the family plan now costs $27.38 per month, up from $17.57. On average, single person plans have increased 18 percent, while family plans are up 43 percent.

Many YouTube Premium customers affected by the price changes have said on Reddit that they plan to cancel given the significant increases to family plans.

YouTube Premium pricing has not increased in the United States, Canada, or other countries. In the U.S., the standard plan is $13.99 per month, and a family plan is $22.99 per month.

IMO, life is too short to watch commercials, so even if they do raise the price for the US, I will keep it.
Or just get a free ad blocker.

I hate medicine commercials the most: "Don't want to DIE DIE DIE DIE? Take this pill. Side effects may include headaches, heart disease, constipation and diarrhea at the same time, stroke, cancer, and death."

Google has won the adblock war. It's over boys.
Wipr or any content blocker for Safari, Ublock for all other browsers. The war is far from over.
