People are paying $23 for this???
Honestly shocked.
And it's Google, so you know they are going to keep raising prices, probably adding some ads also in the near future. And of course selling your behavior to advertisers as well, that's a given.
Just curious: Where in the article does it say $23? It says $13.99, so I'm wondering if it was a typo.
They may be confusing it with the family plan? Which is $23 for up to 5 people, which imo is a pretty good deal if you know 4 other people to go in on it.
You and five others, so 6 total.
Ah thanks! Duh. “Add up to 5 members” not just “5 members”. Whoops.
And it specifically allows sharing outside of a household. So me, both my parents, and my ex all share a subscription. And it covers YouTube Music as well. It was better when it was GPM, but that's been a while now.
