YouTube has introduced a new subscription tier known as Premium Lite at $7.99 per month, providing ad-free videos while still including ads for music videos. This option caters to users who primarily watch non-music content, allowing for a more economical choice compared to the existing $13.99 Premium plan which includes everything. Following successful tests in countries like Australia and Germany, the intent behind Premium Lite is to attract a larger audience to subscriptions. With over 125 million paying subscribers, YouTube is reinforcing its competitiveness against major streaming services like Netflix and Disney.
