    "premium lite" now that makes no sense. It's either premium, or it isnt

        It's attractive if you'd pay that much for the Gemini chatbot anyway.

        When a client asks me something completely unhinged my first thought is usually 'Gemini told you this, and now I need to waste my time explaining why it is wrong'.

          I have the same problem but it’s internal colleagues.

          I just use AI to explain why it’s wrong. They get a quality of response commensurate with the quality of what they sent.

    For the record, premium lite is Ad-free + downloads on "most videos". Ads still appear on music, music videos, shorts and while you're browsing

    • Nillionaire on 20/05/2026 - 22:58

      I don't consume music and shorts on YouTube as I have Spotify and TikTok for that but ads while I'm browsing regular YouTube is a dealbreaker..

      • fantombloo on 20/05/2026 - 23:09

        Plenty of free ways to throw that deal in their face.

          Just use Brave or Morph. Premium lite is not shareable anyway.

            +3

            @aparasher: Something like Morphe is a must for me. Just so I can customise and remove the shorts, music mixes and other garbage that shows up.

            Also need sponsorbllock to get rid of the constant extra ads and garbage on each video.

            Using YT raw is pretty rough otherwise.

    • nismo on 21/05/2026 - 09:14

      It offers fewer interruptions so you can watch most YouTube and YouTube Kids videos ad-free, offline, and in the background

      I think you missed a couple, background play in particular is appealing.

    I have google ai plus 200gb which doesn't include youtube lite but its currently 4.49 a month but jumps to 13.99 next month after the offer finishes

    Google ai pro jumps to A$16.49/mo

    For 6 months, then A$32.99 / month.

    Been loving the cheap free offers the last 18 months

    • hhuy837 on 21/05/2026 - 09:43

      ai noob here - do you notice a difference between Google ai plus or pro? When I had it for free a while back I didn't notice a difference when it rolled over to the basic/standard (whatever they call it now)

      • leasky on 21/05/2026 - 10:14
        +1

        Zero difference its mostly for using the ai to generate videos ive turned it off for Gmail i only use the text based gemini for a few questions

        Standard 200gb was perfect for my storage needs the ai stuff is only for someone heavy in office work or coding i believe.

        • hhuy837 on 21/05/2026 - 10:17

          mm ok - I mean I use Gemini at work for brainstorming, spreadsheet formulas etc. and it has been totally fine. I'm not in the tech space or need to code, so I haven't found a use case to pay for any ai.

          Glad to see I'm not the only one though.

        And as soon as that was done, now I have no use cases for PiP on YouTube, bc I’d rather just focus on the video rather than have it in the background and miss out on the content.

    Gemini 3.5 Flash looks promising as a model, this offer could be enough to tip a consumer AI user from Claude or ChatGPT.

    • morediscount on 20/05/2026 - 22:26

      Its garbage, the only thing good is speed, otherwise it is expensive and dumb.
      Go to Gemini to code? With what, the api? Coz Antigravity is DEAD! Limits are garbage now they took away geminii 3.1 flash which had massive limits coz it was cheap and replaced it with an overpriced thing (3.5flash) and tied all the google models usage into one. And I cant be bothered listing all the bugs or go on about how stupid and broken it was to separate the agents and ide.

        You're not kidding, my weekly pro limit vanished in almost no time today using the new flash model. I thought flash was supposed to be the affordable model, not anymore…

    There's a companion offer with the Google Pixel phones to get 12 months free of this tier.

    Normally I wouldn't bother getting the Gemini level, but not bad if you're getting it for free.

    • jatyap on 22/05/2026 - 13:43

      Ehhh… apparently it's with purchase of a new phone… nuts…

        Yeah, I'm certainly not suggesting a new phone just for this benefit!

        As it happens I needed to buy a new phone, so it's a nice bonus.

        That said if someone was convinced they needed the Google AI Pro tier they could argue it's a further discount of ~$200

    • wetsandwich on 21/05/2026 - 10:01

      I dunno, I like the existing premium tier that gets you all the real deals that the plebs don't see. I think it should be more expensive if anything.

      • tenpercent on 21/05/2026 - 10:10

    Paying over 1k for a phone that can't play music in the background. Google is getting Apple. Tix Tok is free btw at least for now.

    • Nillionaire on 21/05/2026 - 00:38

      TikTok doesn't let you play in the background and doesn't have an ad-free mode?

      • bcYield on 21/05/2026 - 01:17

        Android is the one who stopped you from playing in the background. Not sure of iOS. Windows PC let you play whatever you want in the ground.

        You should know why YouTube charges to play in the background. Android Auto doesn't event let you play a YouTube music if you don't pay.

        For tik tok, I don't know since when tik tok has in-video ads.

        • Nillionaire on 21/05/2026 - 10:23

          since when tik tok has in-video ads

          When you're scrolling on For You or Following, you get ads. I'm willing to pay to not get them but there's no option to do so.

    Just as an FYI Google also revised their usage limits as part of this, and you now get significantly less usage included in your AI plan. If you use Deep Research or Pro models, or even run a lot of Flash prompts, you’ve been significantly downgraded. I pay for Pro, it’s handy for work and Nano Banana, and for my usage is still fine, but it’s something to be aware of.

    People are losing their minds in the Gemini Reddit if you want to know more.

        I know, how dare I consider something a good deal to me instead of negging it because YOU are angry. How absolutely awful of me.

        The usage limits are still fine with me for my use cases, this inclusion is a bonus I like. Get over yourself.

  • Dyl on 21/05/2026 - 01:44
    +8

    Doesn’t really make up for the stricter usage limits which now go heavily by compute usage. A few large prompts and you’re locked out for 5 hours, use to be effectively unlimited under standard use cases.

    Neg as problem with seller - bait & switch. Throwing in something that basically should be free anyway doesn’t negate the harsh restrictions they added. It’s especially an issue for Gemini cli, you hit limits so quickly you can barely get anything done.

    Currently on AI Plus 2TB. Paying $149.99 annually.

    Then $8.99 per month for Premium Lite.

    Total $257.87

    AI Pro 5TB $264.99 for 1 year.

    Hmmm…

    • Jklaro on 21/05/2026 - 07:49

      You also get nest aware plan costing $150. For me i pay for nest aware and 2tb so this is freebies. Ai pro 3tb extra and youtube lite.

    • rusteh on 21/05/2026 - 09:53

      I'm in the same boat, but its $330 after 12 months for the 5TB AI Pro plan

      • JaxSantiago on 21/05/2026 - 10:20

        I see. Probably a targeted offer then, which means it will likely be $330 next year for me.
