"doesn't charge a cent for hosting all of your uploaded videos, showing them to the wider world, or letting you spend all day streaming content made by others. What it does do is show you a whole lot of advertising in an attempt to make back some of its data storage costs-which, based on the flood of ads we all have to endure, are presumably astronomical."
"YouTube Premium Lite has one feature: It removes the ads on most YouTube videos, wherever you're watching them (from your phone to your TV). You'll still see ads on music videos, on YouTube Shorts, and when you search for videos on YouTube-but all ad types on other content will disappear. Your subscription will be linked to your Google account, so it works wherever you're signed in, and it includes YouTube Kids content as well."
"If you're prepared to add yet another digital subscription to your monthly outgoings, YouTube Premium Lite will set you back $8 a month. There's no way to pay annually to get a discount overall, and there's no family plan where you can spread the benefits to other people-two options you do have with the full version of YouTube Premium."
YouTube provides free video hosting funded by advertising to offset massive data storage costs. YouTube Premium Lite costs $8 per month and removes most ads across devices, but ads remain on music videos, YouTube Shorts, and search results. The subscription links to a Google account, includes YouTube Kids content, and can be canceled or resumed at any time. YouTube Premium Lite does not offer an annual discount or a family plan, features available with full YouTube Premium. Users can upgrade to full Premium, and many may hesitate to add another paid subscription amid existing services.
