with this price change they still make more money if they loose less than ~14.3% of their users. i think that's actually plausible. never underestimate the laziness of people to change something they have become accustomed to.
idk if it's laziness, people just get used to the service
But I don't get why they want to do that, I feel like no-one uses YT Premium and they should reduce the price instead to get more users
I use YT prem. Use a ton of YT for the kids and I like that my YT prem helps the content creaters I sub to. Though, if they had a patron or something they'd probably get a cut.
This price raise sucks, bc now I will probably cancel. It's not worth that much.
I feel like they could gain way more with a cheaper price though, and then they can be less shackled by ad agencies too that seem to be able to dictate a lot of YouTube policies at the moment
