It was already cheap. YouTube is just raising prices in Poland. Is it still profitable?

YouTube has recently been intensively encouraging users to switch to the Premium package. Now we have more bad news, because we will pay even more for the paid one.

YouTube Premium is becoming more expensive in Poland. We will pay PLN 11 more for the family package

Current users will have to reach deeper into their pockets from December (it may be the beginning or even the end of the month – depending on when the billing period ends for a given user). “This is not an easy decision for us, but changing the price will allow us to continue to improve the Premium service and support the creators and artists you watch on YouTube,” the email reads.
