Google's cheaper YouTube Premium Lite subscription will drop Music
Briefly

YouTube is launching a cheaper subscription called 'YouTube Premium Lite,' which allows users to enjoy ad-free videos without YouTube Music. While the service is cheaper, it may remove additional features like background playback and offline downloads. Initial tests in Germany and Australia suggest this plan might cost between $7-$8 in the US. However, users have reported that Premium Lite may not completely eliminate ads, especially for music videos. Google is expanding this offering to provide users with more choices and flexibility.
YouTube Premium Lite drops YouTube Music and several features but keeps ad-free access for regular content, aiming to cater to users less concerned about music.
YouTube Premium Lite may not completely eliminate ads, as some users report encountering pre-roll ads before music videos and banner ads on the site.
