Η Google tries a more affordable one premium subscription for youtube which offers views without ads and without others possibilities of YouTube Premium, such as offline downloads or background playback.
The new subscription is called “Premium lite”. THE specific subscription currently being tested in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
"In Scandinavia and Benelux (except από την Ισλανδία), δοκιμάζουμε μια νέα προσφορά για να δώσουμε στους χρήστες ακόμη περισσότερες επιλογές: Η Premium Lite κοστίζει 6,99 €/μήνα και περιλαμβάνει βίντεο χωρίς διαφημίσεις στο YouTube” ανέφερε ένας εκπρόσωπος του YouTube. Το υπάρχον Premium packet YouTube costs around € 11,99 a month in Europe.
Premium Lite will not show ads on YouTube on the web, Android, iOS apps, smart TVs and game consoles, and the YouTube Kids app. However, it will not offer any of the benefits of YouTube Music such as ad-free listening, and it does not include other features of the Premium package, such as background playback (when you want to switch apps while still listening to audio from YouTube videos), or downloads outside connections.
The Premium Lite package sounds like a tempting proposition for those who can't stand ads.
But the price is about 60 percent of the price of a regular Premium subscription, and offers about a quarter of its benefits. YouTube reports that the current subscription is still in an experimental phase, but that it is considering creating more packages.
