Been using it a couple of yrs and it's great for all the reasons you mention My main issue is if you are in a Google Workspace account, you can only have single use YT premium not multi user
If you buy one month and cancel, then YT will spam you with ads like never before, every 5 sec new ads on any video, just to buy again. So think twice before buy.
I’ve been a TH-cam Premium subscriber for years, and it’s the only video service I’m paying for. It really made the viewing experience far more satisfying. I also love the background play, which comes in handy with videos that do not require me to watch, and also picture-in-picture is handy too, though I wish it was a bit more consistent on my iPad.
@ If you are seeing sponsored ads by the content creators, then that’s a thing. I usually just skip them, but it took me a minute to understand the distinction. But if you were still getting prerecorded ads, that would suck.
I drive a lot, and I prefer to listen to videos like this one. I put them in a Playlist, and having premium means I don't have to dangerously fiddle with my phone to skip ads while I'm driving. It's absolutely perfect!
@brigtern1129 With the price of gas, i wish i didn't have to. But all the work i get as a freelancer means i hafta drive from city to city, and where i live, there's no public transportation that would get me to those places at the times i need to be there. I don't live in a big city like NYC or LA where public transportation would be a better option. I live in a very rural area, about an hour drive to any of the major cities i work in.
it’s starting to seem like it’s not worth it though. they raised the price to $20 a month which is ridiculous, that’s more than every single streaming service in the world it’s insane
Old school TH-cam was the best. No ads, no high budget nonsense going on. I wish there was a platform like it these days. Time moves on though, I suppose.
NGL TH-cam Premium is expensive. I only want "no ads, background play, download video for offline". I don't need youtube music. So they should make cheaper plan like 5 bucks for youtube video premium.
If you use TH-cam a lot, then in my opinion it is. I like how it still plays when the app is minimized. Love not having ads. Crazy we pay for a bit more mental peace without ads.
Them ads will mess with your mental for sure, the same ads over and over and over and over , and you trying to qu8ickliy time the skip button becomes annoying
I'm a subscriber and small time creator. We have the family package and for us it's been a great decision. We've cancelled some previous music streaming services which helped the decision. Interesting to see where paying to watch 4K content goes (I do upload in 4K) There's definitely a new level of enjoyment watching TH-cam without breaks 👍👍
Watching Ad-free is absolutely worth the money. TH-cam is the only App I use to consume video content so watching it without the ads was a game changer.
I got TH-cam premium for Cobra Kai. Never canceled it even after I finished watching and don't regret it. Every once in a while I'll be in someone's office and they load up TH-cam and I see just how different an experience it is when you're inundated with ads. No ads is worth the price.
I've been on youtube premium for years and yes its an absolute no-brainer. I have found that youtube music has everything, whereas Spotify etc all have a few blind spots. And not having to see ads? I can't believe its not more popular. I literally don't know anyone else who is a subscriber. People say 'watch this' , and we sit through an ad while I tell them they don't actually have to. And still they don't sign up......
TH-cam music is great. The app isn't always perfect, but I've found the automatically continued playlists are a great discovery feature. I've found so many pieces of music I love through it, and many from small creators. The one thing that bugs me is that YT playlists and YT music ones are the same list, which means I have a really long list of playlists that I wish I could group up or split somehow. The high quality is really decent for playing on EQed Sony XM4s on the go.
Only complaint I have are fan made playlists made up of delisted or dmca'd videos. And sometimes playlists I make with music I own has tracks flagged or dropped or delisted. It's a pain to redress the playlist.
If you’re like me and absolutely can’t stand ads then it’s worth it I too think the price is high They really should increase the benefits to include something substantial otherwise
Threatening to force to pay or watch scam ads, or face termination is why I'm disliking this video. Plus, the service price went up to $14 per month or face bans for using Adblockers is what's gonna cause the FTC to hit Google with sanctions against them.
Features like background play or 4K shouldn’t be locked behind a paywall. And you should be able to have YT premium without having to pay for YT music.
and there are a lot of good TH-cam downloaders as well… I am considering to cancel my subscription exactly because there are sponsored blocks in many videos, it is extremely annoying, I pay the 11 EUR and I have to mess skipping the ads created by the creators.
@@diosj Is that because you think you deserve free content and people should supply you with what you want without them getting a paycheck? Is that it? Other people should pay for you to get what you want?
This is very very true!! Wondering for myself, with the new price increase, if this is still worth it over just getting Spotify and using an adblocker for TH-cam vids
@@fishhuntadventureit’s not free, it’s like $18 (?) a month now with the price increase dingus. They’re saying the content creators are essentially double dipping and you still have to skip through their sponsored segment of the video
The premium subscription is up to 16.00 per month now and they still play 2 f commercials before I watch a video. I don't see what the advantage is for the premium, it's ver annoying
Hell yeah I have TH-cam Premium. Been subscribed to it ever since it was first introduced as TH-cam Red and I did it solely to get rid of the ads. I've been without TH-cam ads for so long, I sometimes forget that there are ads on the platform that I'm completely bypassing.
I have had premium for a few years and have been very happy with it. Now, However, certain presenters have been putting there own ads in the beginning, middle and end of their videos and that seems wrong to me. Some of them, whom I have complained to about it have removed them and some have put them at the end. However some others, like Meidas Touch, are putting long loud commercials in the middle of their videos. For these there is no skip button. I am pretty annoyed about it. Do you know what I might be able to do about it? I feel now as if I am paying for nothing if this is allowed.
I've had pro for longer than I can remember, but a few months ago when my card expired and/or I was hilariously broke, premium expired and I had a few days wait for the new card card and/or the next payday. I honestly can't remember why I couldn't renew, but I can say without a hint of irony it was one of the worst weeks of my life. I was a "cord cutter" when Netflix was sending DVDs and "commercials" as we used to call them have become a foreign concept. Flash forward a decade or so and now I'm pretty much watching or playing TH-cam in the background 24/7 for background noise, but as a replacement for TV, Netflix, etc. I don't even own a functional TV, and I work from home. But all the sudden when my premium expired and I had multiple repetitive ads preroll AND midroll for every single video. I don't know if it was always that bad, and I had just forgotten, or maybe ads had increased since I started premium. I don't know when I started premium but it didn't sink in just how valuable it was to me personally until I didn't have it. Not to mention my conscience is cleaner when I don't use adblockers on smaller creators who deserve to be compensated for the knowledge and entertainment they're providing me. Tldr; for me personally, I literally can't use TH-cam without it.
I held out, then tried it, never going back. My brain detests ads, my experience without ads is so much better. Note the download is like Netflix, more offline viewing than downloading. You can’t actually do anything with the download except watch it inside TH-cam.
It’s very worth it for me. My favorite type of content is long from video essays and I like listening to them in the background while I work or clean. It’s nice being able to put my phone away and do whatever I need to do without wasting the extra battery as well ❤
Thanks Justin for highlighting the TH-cam Premium features. We didn't realize that TH-cam Music was included also. It's something to consider trying. 👍🏾
If u can afford it then yes it’s worth it but £11.99 is too expensive for me and if u compare it to Prime that’s only £8.99 it needs to lower its price to entice us working class people
I'm seriously considering TH-cam Premium. I used to swear that I'd never get it, but now the ads are are really getting to me. It was a couple of months ago when TH-cam decided to spew two non-skippable ads back to back. It's gotten very ridiculous. Why are they giving me a non-skippable 6 second ad after literally giving me the 15 second non-skippable one? It's extremely annoying. $13 per month is a bit much too. That's nearly, if not more than my Netflix subscription. I wish they'd just split the package, so when you want to just watch TH-cam with no ads, you won't also be forced to also pay for TH-cam Music and etc-- because, let's be real: Most people who buy TH-cam Premium don't it for any other single reason outside of ads.
Thanks. My question is, after downloading the videos, can you watch them on other apps/programs like Media Player? And what format do they save in? Thanks.
Just a couple of things. I am up for renewal, but I am not sure I will yet. While paying to be ad-free is great, I feel cheated because a lot of channels have paid sponsors which are basically ads and those don't get blocked. The thing with ads if you don't have premium, you are using YOUR data to listen to ads essentially. Who wants that? Especially those who don't have unlimited data plans from their phone carrier.
I accidentality ran TH-cam without being logged in the other day, and remembered how many ads I used to have to skip through and how it was almost impossible to watch a video, so I could never go back. One problem with YT Music however is the system that tries to decide what playlist is video and what is music does not always work well. I would like to be able to manually designate my playlists as Music or Video.
same. its just impossible to watch youtube without premium now. try to look for video on my friend's phone, and just realize how good is youtube without ads
Yes I just started a free 3 months subscription, no ads is great. Mainly using on my big TV, for 4K, which has just been upgraded to a new app and everytime I open it it asks me to install the new app, again, anoyinggggg. Still undecided, new app is confusing but works better when searching using in conjunction with the smartphone for remote control, cheers Brendan.
I might be in the minority that doesn't mind ads. some are actually informative or pleasant to watch. but I wld definitely pay for YT access if it ever became a paid service. Im a fan user and creator (with another small channel) and the experience is always very satisfying.
I love how TH-cam makes it to where we have to adapt to them. It used to be that it was free range. You could do whatever you wanted your channel. You could do whatever you wanted. It was awesome. I preferred it that way and still think it was way better back then
It's worth it to me, because I don't watch television at all. TH-cam is literally my "TV" service and with premium, I NEVER have commercial interruptions! Totally worth it.
I absolutely love TH-cam Premium. Watching ads annoys me to no end. My personal channel has had premium for years, and I'm now in a trial for my creator channel (this one). I'm wondering if I should switch to a family plan so that both channels will have access to a premium subscription after the trial. Question: would it alter my creator channel if it became an "add-on" to my personal channel (under the family plan)?
Companies are now having the video creators basically give an ad directly to you in the middle of their content. So you really aren't avoiding the ads with TH-cam Premium. So its a complete waste of money to pay anything to keep from watching ads. The companies have found a loophole. You will still see their ads whether you pay for TH-cam Premium or not. So don't waste your money.
I block all of Google ads and we all know that lots of creators now have paid sponsored ads. As long as they keep it to a minimum I'll continue to watch them but if they get greedy and have too much I'm gone .
If you just want to eliminate ads on TH-cam without having to pay, the b,r,a,v,e browser is excellent. Admittedly you are depriving content creators of some revenue but you can make up for that by getting on their lists, buying merch, or if they have courses, if you want.
Wow restricting 4k to premium will decimate people uploading 360 content ! YT have already removed 5k from their platform and people like myself who has 6k 360 camera are only able to have it uploaded at a maximum 4k grr.
I just wanted to see the TH-cam Premium plan see exactly what I have. When I originally purchased the Premium plan, it was so I didn't have a ton of commercials. There's very few things that get my blood boiling and commercials are one of them! I honesty think that, even if the price was $20 per month, I would still keep it. I know that it will be $20 per month eventually. The other part that pisses me off is the BUFFERING!! IDK why I am still getting all of the buffering on shows, movies, and my Playlist items! These items have been on my phone for years and haven't had any buffering. I do A DAILY(morning and evening) service of RAISING OF THE FLAG AND RETIRING OF THE FLAG. 8am EVERY MORNING and sunset for RETIRING it. Last evening, it started buffering the music EVEN THOUGH the music is recorded!! Can someone explain why it does this? It's very embarrassing when I have people who come to my house to pay their respects and to HONOR the United States Flag and have dead silence whilst it buffers! Anyway, I hope that someone who is reading this might be able to tell me why it buffers on a recorded video or pc of music! Thank you and God Bless Everyone!!
You just need it, noot for the perks but simply because adds are so frequent, volume goes up it makes 90% of people nervous when double add hit them for 3rd time in first ten minutes
I listen to TH-cam on headphones as I work, drive etc, so as soon as Vanced or whatever comes after that stops working, I'll have to go Premium, because watching on my PS5, which doesn't have access to third party ad blockers, is unbearable...which is the whole point of ads, after all
They had me with ad free playback and I’ve been a subscriber from day one. It’s the only reason I pay for it. I don’t leverage any of the other features.
Not worth it for me. At most the ads just take up about 5-20 seconds per video before you can skip it to watch your content. $11.99 per month for this ads up too fast for free content.
Ok will give it a go. I’ve been doing a lot of personal development stuff on TH-cam this year 4-6 hours a day and the ads drive me wild 😢so yes thx for the heads up here
I been a TH-cam premium member for over 3 years now. I pay $18 a month, and I know I can get a better price on the website, but to me it's worth every penny.
I just cancelled the renewal via Apple store today after the price increase ($18). I resubscribed on the website for 14/month and also decided to go with the offer of 140 a year (saved 76 comparing to paying 18 for 12 months), a pretty good deal!
Yes because I hate ads and use YT music for music, it's worth it if you're watching lengthy videos like NRL or E-Sports like Dota those videos can go for at least 50+ mins long, you definitely encounter ads mid way though videos without Premium. TH-cam Music because when I work can turn off the screen and continue doing what task needs to be done.
Since they added more and more ad time to TH-cam I simply had to get Premium. Some ads went on for over a minute, followed by another shorter one, and then another which after five seconds I could skip but did this EVER get annoying. Much better without ads.
Good to know that even with youtube premium I'll be able to still help my favorite creators. I genuinely was afraid it could hurt their revenue (I know, naïve thinking but still).
Thanks for the video PV. As I'm looking over my finances, if you say that TH-cam Music is better than it was, maybe when I look at what I pay for Spotify, and waiting for ads to skip on YT, it may work out cheaper in the long run to have YT Premium for my music and YT videos. As well as being able to let music play on while my phone is locked, to me, is way helpful. Something to think about now I've seen this. Thanks Guys 👍
TH-cam Music offers a unique music streaming experience, and it could be a great alternative to Spotify. Give it a try and see if it suits your preferences - Hazel, PV Team
i am well in my second year now. And i think it starting to get expencive but that is probably because i live in Norway and the dollar cost a little fortune at this time in history. But i will continue even after the raise of price. Because it is really likes he explained in the video. The experience and feelings of not having to watch all the adds, it is not any way to really explaines how great that is.And i pay over 15$ for the premium, but still feels it is so worth it guys.
I've been on the fence over this for some time; y'all most likely have helped me make a decision. Just need to do a bit of cyphering to see if it can fit in presently. Thanx!

Thanks. My question is, after downloading the videos, can you watch them on other apps/programs like Media Player? And what format do they save in? Thanks.
Wondering the same!
No....
@@lanalan4157 Then there is zero benefit to paying for YT.
Just a couple of things. I am up for renewal, but I am not sure I will yet. While paying to be ad-free is great, I feel cheated because a lot of channels have paid sponsors which are basically ads and those don't get blocked. The thing with ads if you don't have premium, you are using YOUR data to listen to ads essentially. Who wants that? Especially those who don't have unlimited data plans from their phone carrier.
Id been paying for the past 4 years and I don’t regret it. People pay cable subscriptions to watch ads. I pay TH-cam to not deal with them.
I accidentality ran TH-cam without being logged in the other day, and remembered how many ads I used to have to skip through and how it was almost impossible to watch a video, so I could never go back.
One problem with YT Music however is the system that tries to decide what playlist is video and what is music does not always work well.
I would like to be able to manually designate my playlists as Music or Video.
same. its just impossible to watch youtube without premium now. try to look for video on my friend's phone, and just realize how good is youtube without ads
Yes I just started a free 3 months subscription, no ads is great. Mainly using on my big TV, for 4K, which has just been upgraded to a new app and everytime I open it it asks me to install the new app, again, anoyinggggg. Still undecided, new app is confusing but works better when searching using in conjunction with the smartphone for remote control, cheers Brendan.
I might be in the minority that doesn't mind ads. some are actually informative or pleasant to watch. but I wld definitely pay for YT access if it ever became a paid service. Im a fan user and creator (with another small channel) and the experience is always very satisfying.
Same. I grew up with ads on TV so I'm not opposed, especially to good ones. And if I don't want ads, I'll use a hack.
I love how TH-cam makes it to where we have to adapt to them. It used to be that it was free range. You could do whatever you wanted your channel. You could do whatever you wanted. It was awesome. I preferred it that way and still think it was way better back then
Yes and I LOOOOOVE it! You hit all the positive points spot on!
Great to hear that, cheers! 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

It's worth it to me, because I don't watch television at all. TH-cam is literally my "TV" service and with premium, I NEVER have commercial interruptions! Totally worth it.
Amazing! 😃 - Hazel, PV Team
I absolutely love TH-cam Premium. Watching ads annoys me to no end. My personal channel has had premium for years, and I'm now in a trial for my creator channel (this one). I'm wondering if I should switch to a family plan so that both channels will have access to a premium subscription after the trial. Question: would it alter my creator channel if it became an "add-on" to my personal channel (under the family plan)?
I have the same thought: pay for two premiums or go with a family plan?
Companies are now having the video creators basically give an ad directly to you in the middle of their content. So you really aren't avoiding the ads with TH-cam Premium. So its a complete waste of money to pay anything to keep from watching ads. The companies have found a loophole. You will still see their ads whether you pay for TH-cam Premium or not. So don't waste your money.
I block all of Google ads and we all know that lots of creators now have paid sponsored ads. As long as they keep it to a minimum I'll continue to watch them but if they get greedy and have too much I'm gone .
It's totally worth it. Can't see myself going without it ever.
Cool 😎 - Hazel, PV Team
Cant you download an ad blocker. Then the ads wont be a problem anymore.
Browser that blocks ads... Ad blocker.... Uhhhh
This aged like the finest of wine
@@RealBasil143 yum
and on phone? I know u can use brave but I still don't like it
@@eduardocunha_7 i kinda forgor the context of why i sent that comment, but i do understand why u wouldn't like it
If it's free, ur the product
If you just want to eliminate ads on TH-cam without having to pay, the b,r,a,v,e browser is excellent. Admittedly you are depriving content creators of some revenue but you can make up for that by getting on their lists, buying merch, or if they have courses, if you want.
If I had to get rid of all my streaming services but one, I'd keep TH-cam premium.
two months later it’s $15.99, kind of a big jump….
ridiculously high and simply not worth it…
Wow restricting 4k to premium will decimate people uploading 360 content ! YT have already removed 5k from their platform and people like myself who has 6k 360 camera are only able to have it uploaded at a maximum 4k grr.
I just run ad blocks on my chrome, and i get no TH-cam ads. Only time i get ads is on my phone. As for music i might get the music part of this plan.
Same here
I’ve had premium for years and could never go back to ads.
I just wanted to see the TH-cam Premium plan see exactly what I have. When I originally purchased the Premium plan, it was so I didn't have a ton of commercials. There's very few things that get my blood boiling and commercials are one of them! I honesty think that, even if the price was $20 per month, I would still keep it. I know that it will be $20 per month eventually. The other part that pisses me off is the BUFFERING!! IDK why I am still getting all of the buffering on shows, movies, and my Playlist items! These items have been on my phone for years and haven't had any buffering. I do A DAILY(morning and evening) service of RAISING OF THE FLAG AND RETIRING OF THE FLAG. 8am EVERY MORNING and sunset for RETIRING it. Last evening, it started buffering the music EVEN THOUGH the music is recorded!! Can someone explain why it does this? It's very embarrassing when I have people who come to my house to pay their respects and to HONOR the United States Flag and have dead silence whilst it buffers! Anyway, I hope that someone who is reading this might be able to tell me why it buffers on a recorded video or pc of music! Thank you and God Bless Everyone!!
yeah I don't feel like watching a 5 second ad ima def buy this
Love, love, love Premium. We travel in a camper van and are frequently outside cell coverage.
Amazing! 😃 - Hazel, PV Team
Then how the advertiser promote their products if all TH-cam users enrolled in TH-cam premium?
As a content creator, i pay for premium to support other creators instead of add blockers.
Allready have and i never go back, just to skip ads is everything
Question with Premium membership can i watch on multiple devices at the same time ? example : on phone and on home TV app same time.
If you have the same YT account as your phone does then yes.
same YT account no problems
You just need it, noot for the perks but simply because adds are so frequent, volume goes up it makes 90% of people nervous when double add hit them for 3rd time in first ten minutes
I listen to TH-cam on headphones as I work, drive etc, so as soon as Vanced or whatever comes after that stops working, I'll have to go Premium, because watching on my PS5, which doesn't have access to third party ad blockers, is unbearable...which is the whole point of ads, after all
Do i have to pay monthly, if i get invited to family to premium, I REALLY WANNA KNOW:0
I've had Premium for years, ever since it first came out. I really like it!
Great to hear that! 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
I'm charged for youtube premium but when i watch youtube the commercials are still there.
Picture in picture is free with fold phones
They had me with ad free playback and I’ve been a subscriber from day one. It’s the only reason I pay for it. I don’t leverage any of the other features.
Incredibly informative. Thank you for this
You're welcome! - Hazel, PV Team
Thank you so much for the Super Thanks! - Justin :)
Not worth it for me. At most the ads just take up about 5-20 seconds per video before you can skip it to watch your content. $11.99 per month for this ads up too fast for free content.
Can youtube premium be paired with another device?
I've had it for almost 2 years - love it
Nice! - Hazel, PV Team
Bro what 💀, you can download TH-cam videos without premium 🤦🏼♂️
Upto 480p
Fr tho 💀, there's even a download button in my player🗿 (which isn't official🗿)
Ok will give it a go. I’ve been doing a lot of personal development stuff on TH-cam this year 4-6 hours a day and the ads drive me wild 😢so yes thx for the heads up here
My TH-cam tends to have very short pauses in it which ruins the experience completely for me. Will getting Premium eliminate these pauses?
I been a TH-cam premium member for over 3 years now. I pay $18 a month, and I know I can get a better price on the website, but to me it's worth every penny.
I can’t stand using TH-cam without it, it’s that good!
Justin.
I just cancelled the renewal via Apple store today after the price increase ($18). I resubscribed on the website for 14/month and also decided to go with the offer of 140 a year (saved 76 comparing to paying 18 for 12 months), a pretty good deal!
Yes because I hate ads and use YT music for music, it's worth it if you're watching lengthy videos like NRL or E-Sports like Dota those videos can go for at least 50+ mins long, you definitely encounter ads mid way though videos without Premium.
TH-cam Music because when I work can turn off the screen and continue doing what task needs to be done.
Since they added more and more ad time to TH-cam I simply had to get Premium. Some ads went on for over a minute, followed by another shorter one, and then another which after five seconds I could skip but did this EVER get annoying. Much better without ads.
I just can’t justify the expense right now. Even if I could though, I’m not sure I would.
Thinking bout it considering I watch a lot of TH-cam. Twitch ads are so aggressive if one dual streams I always opt for TH-cam side
@justinbrown Great vid thank you for the info, do you know if down the line if we cancel do we get keep the content that we downloaded?
Did I miss it, did you actually discuss if it's worth it for a content creator? Is there anything unlocked on the content creator portion?
Nothing extra is unlocked that will help for channel growth
@@PrimalVideo Thanks for the reply. Is there anything unlocked, I don't really see any additional features as a creator.
The TH-cam Premium experience would literally be financially impossible for the company to provide for free.
they could still keep the ads but allow the playback and picture in picture
for me premium should only be for no ads and download
Good to know that even with youtube premium I'll be able to still help my favorite creators. I genuinely was afraid it could hurt their revenue (I know, naïve thinking but still).
If the price was around $5.99 - $7.99, I might actually consider it. At $11.99, not a chance.
I think Premium is too pricey but as a creator as well as consumer I'm on TH-cam too much to not have it.
I honestly wonder how much TH-cam paid to for all these shill comments.
You jealous?
Thanks for the video PV. As I'm looking over my finances, if you say that TH-cam Music is better than it was, maybe when I look at what I pay for Spotify, and waiting for ads to skip on YT, it may work out cheaper in the long run to have YT Premium for my music and YT videos.
As well as being able to let music play on while my phone is locked, to me, is way helpful. Something to think about now I've seen this. Thanks Guys 👍
I’m curious about TH-cam music. I’ve avoided Spotify up till now. Might be a better option?
TH-cam Music offers a unique music streaming experience, and it could be a great alternative to Spotify. Give it a try and see if it suits your preferences - Hazel, PV Team
Exactly, the meditations! You can play it while offscreen
i am well in my second year now. And i think it starting to get expencive but that is probably because i live in Norway and the dollar cost a little fortune at this time in history. But i will continue even after the raise of price. Because it is really likes he explained in the video. The experience and feelings of not having to watch all the adds, it is not any way to really explaines how great that is.And i pay over 15$ for the premium, but still feels it is so worth it guys.
Can we have access to YT Music in countries where it ain't available? Like in Pakistan
I've been on the fence over this for some time; y'all most likely have helped me make a decision.
Just need to do a bit of cyphering to see if it can fit in presently.
Thanx!
I’m definitely debating on getting it for no more Ads. I’m so Danm sick of seeing this stupid subsidy government claim scam Ad…
