So I do now, but only since I moved to a country where it doesn't cost so much. I watch maybe 6 hours absolutely tops of YouTube a month? I get charged $7/m for it, which still feels usurious, but in the UK they want almost $17/m which is firmly in "go fuck yourself" territory. I'd like them to tier pricing so casual users like me aren't paying for people who are using YouTube as their primary entertainment mechanism.

No it isn't. YT Premium in the UK is £12.99.

It's funny how people are so dishonest on HN when it comes to paying for things.

£12.99, which is around $17 USD, which is what the person you're replying to stated, though American defaultism kicked in and they didn't specify which dollar, but still.

So... yes it is?

They want 23.99€ for a family account for me. It's hard to say if it's fair or reasonable but it's too rich for me.

$17 is about £12.69 at the moment so there does not seem to be any dishonesty in the claim.
