This is the first price increase for YouTube Premium in Australia. This price hike is applicable for individual, family, and student plans.

YouTube Premium brings more advanced features

YouTube Premium brings more features to YouTube Premium subscribers, including removing ads, the ability to stream videos in high-bitrate 1080p quality, playing audio in the background, downloading videos for offline viewing, and co-watching videos via Google Meet.

YouTube has already declared war on ad blockers and is actively stopping people from watching content on YouTube when they have an ad blocker installed on their web browsers or phones. In addition, it is increasing the price of the YouTube Premium subscription. This will help the company generate more revenue, improve its products, and offer more share of its revenue to content creators.
