YouTube Premium is one of the best value-for-money deals on the internet. Incredible utility for price.
$GOOGL is hiking YouTube Premium plans for new users in the US by $2 to $13.99.
Even if they hiked prices by 100% for new and existing users, the churn rate would probably be close to zero. One of the best value-for-money services out there.
