YouTube Tests Shared Premium Plan for Households in Select Regions

Guess what YouTube’s cooking up now? A Premium plan that’s perfect for two. � Currently, it’s making waves in India, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and France, letting two people from the same household split a single subscription without breaking the bank. Ideal for those who think twice before splurging on the full monty. 😉

Here’s the deal: both folks need to be at least 13 and part of the same Google family group. In India, this duo deal clocks in at Rs 219 a month ($2.60), which is a steal compared to shelling out Rs 298 ($3.53) for two separate plans. Talk about saving your pennies!

So, why now? YouTube’s been on a roll, sprucing up Premium with perks like sharper 1080p quality and giving ad blockers the cold shoulder to gently push folks towards subscribing. If this hits the US, expect the price to jump, but for now, it’s a sweet deal for those in the test zones watching their wallets.

“We’re just trying to give folks more bang for their buck,” a YouTube rep mentioned. Makes sense for a platform that’s all in on getting more subscribers. 🤖
