YouTube premium price soars! How to cancel your free trial with Family Sharing
In the end, YouTube made a strong decision to significantly increase the price of YouTube Premium. They say they raised the price of Korean membership for the first time in three years, but the price range is larger than expected, making it a burdensome situation for consumers. Even first-time subscribers must not forget to cancel the YouTube Premium free trial, as a monthly fee of 14,900 won will be charged.
Despite the price being 10,450 won, this increase is somewhat disconcerting even for users who enjoy listening to music and comfortably using background playback to reduce fatigue from advertisements. In particular, users who initially signed up for premium had to spend almost twice as much, considering that they had used it for around 8,000 won.
They say it's to improve services and support creators and artists, but it's a shame! If this happens, I think the number of users who are considering bypassing subscriptions through VPNs, etc. will increase, and the number of users who just watch advertisements will also increase.
To subscribe to YouTube Premium after December 8, you will now have to pay 14,900 won. If you sign up on an iPhone, you have to pay 19,500 won, so you must sign up on an Android phone or on the web. Existing members will maintain the same price for at least 30 days, but will have to pay the increased price from the next payment date. And subscribers before September 2020 can maintain the existing price for 3 months, given that the increase exceeds 70%.
Canceling YouTube Premium is simple. Select the profile icon at the bottom right, then press the <gear wheel at the top right> on the My Profile screen to go into settings. You can cancel your purchases and membership (Membership Management > Deactivate > Cancel membership as is at the bottom of My Premium Benefits). If you have already applied for cancellation, you can check the renewal menu and renew at any time.
These days, there are many full videos of entertainment, sports, etc. on YouTube, so it is recommended enough for content, but even so, the price increase is a bit high. Anyway, it is more useful if you are planning a long-distance flight. There is definitely a lot of content worth watching on Netflix, TV, and even YouTube.
Since you can watch content even if there is no internet on the plane, you can use a variety of entertainment, sports, and game content without getting bored on a flight of 10 hours or more. If you need to travel for a long time, sign up for just one month or try the free trial. This is also a method. If you have never signed up before, you can enjoy the benefits of a free trial.
YouTube Premium Free Trial
The free trial process is simple. The key is that only first-time subscribers can use it for free, but first-time users can use it for free for one month. You can sign up by creating a new account each time, but you must register a payment method, etc., so you can take advantage of the free trial benefit by taking this into consideration. It is not recommended due to the inconvenience of payment methods, etc.
Unfortunately, YouTube's premium family plan is not available in Korea, but the only way for families to use it together is to create a new public ID and share the ID and password. Although it has the disadvantage of mixing up viewing records, etc., you can create three channels, so if you use them separately for each channel, you can use them as individual profile effects.
Today, we introduced YouTube Premium prices, cancellation methods, and free trial methods, but since the price increase is greater than expected, you should consider whether to continue extending it. In particular, since there is a one-month grace period in most cases, you should carefully consider whether to extend or cancel during this period. At that point, the mood of the market will begin to emerge, right?
