YouTube, the online video sharing platform, is one of the most used apps in the daily life of Indians. The platform came up with a new plan, which received mixed reactions. YouTube Introduces Premium Lite, but the users are not so happy with it.
If a user just wants to skip ads on regular videos and save money, Premium Lite is the best possible option. If one enjoys music, multitasking, or watching offline, the full YouTube Premium subscription (Rs 149 per month) might be a better option.
YouTube recently launched Premium Lite in India as a more affordable subscription option for users who mainly want an ad-free experience, but users feel that this plan is of no use for them.
The price is Rs 89 per month, and it allows ad-free viewing for most long-form videos (like gaming, fashion, beauty, and news). It also works across devices—phones, laptops, and smart TVs.
But the users will have no access to YouTube Music, and they will not be allowed to play songs or videos via background play or offline downloads.
On top of that, the ads will still appear on YouTube Shorts, music content, and during search/browsing.
That’s why many YouTube users feel that the new Premium Lite option just doesn’t work for them.
