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

    • +45

      "free" with a $33/month paid service.

      • +1

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

        • +6

          If chatbot is all you want, there is no reaosn to pay.

      Slightly pregnant, right?

      They trialed the name Crap Advanced and it resonate as well with the target markets.

    • +1

      it was either that or.. "i can't believe it's not lite"

    • +3

      Premium economy class for flights

    • it makes sense, it doesnt include music and shorts, i dont watch either so why would I pay for everything

  • +5

    I was here

    Only problem with this package is the AI part.

    • +4

      Google Gemini's hallucinations can be more entertaining than YouTube ;-)

      • +4

        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'.

        • +2

          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.

  • +34

    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

    • 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..

      • +10

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

        • +3

          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.

    • +1

      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.

  • +27

    Nothing in life is free. "Included" would be more appropriate:

    YouTube Premium Lite Now Free Included with Google AI Pro

    • +1

      The best things in life are free.

      • +1

        There's always someone paying.

      • +2

        if you're not the customer.. you're the product

        • +2

          Always wear clean underwear on days that end in Y

        • When you buy slop you are both the customer and product to train more slop.

      • I'm free, so I must be the best.

      • The best things in life are included.

  • +14

    Word games: Premium pro plus ultimate elite max

    • Sounds like a Chery tiggo car trim.

  • +12

    The lack of critical thinking calling this free…

  • +3

    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

    • 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)

      • +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.

        • 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.

  • +1

    no wonder I've been getting the picture in picture mode on my phone

    • +4

      This actually no longer requires YouTube Premium, they recently rolled out Picture in Picture to free users

      • 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.
        Thanks, YouTube!

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

    • 3.5 Flash i have access to as a google one subscriber I think

    • -1

      I still say using all three of them is better than using just one. Depending what you use them for.

    • +8

      You aint been on X huh? ;P
      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.

      • +1

        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…

  • +1

    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.

    • Ehhh… apparently it's with purchase of a new phone… nuts…
      I'm a few generations behind. Cost not justified right now.

      • +1

        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

  • +2

    i wish we got ai free for YouTube premium

  • +1

    Thanks for the reminder to cancel YT lite. That brings the pro to $25/month, I'll wait for them to offer 50% off pro, that should now be decent offer

  • Enshitification - non-paid YouTube will continue to degrade because of this slop

  • +8

    Brave browser is a blessing for iOS (and Pc) users - bypasses ads like they are not there to begin with

    • +2

      The GrayJay app does the same for Android and Apple.

    • +2

      Brave adblock works on Android too…

    • +1

      SmartTube for Android TV is great too

  • Useless

  • +5

    Doesn't work if you got AI Pro for free from a promotion which is pretty funny because they're willing to subsidize AI to oblivion but not ads.

  • +2

    Finally!

    Ideally Google bundles all their subscriptions and lets us pick and choose the tiers of each service..

    • +2

      Best google can do is send your favourite service to the graveyard soz.

  • +6

    like getting a free concussion with every punch in the face

  • +4

    If you just want to get rid of ads, try ublock origin (desktop) + brave (ios), works pretty well for me

    • +3

      ublock on firefox (any platform)

      • not on firefox iOS

  • +3

    I hope OzBargain doesn't start a new Premium Lite tier.

    • Google Ads makes tons that can pay $M for youtubers. Facebook is free but they are now in the leading AI race.

    • 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.

      • Exactly. Premium Lite sounds like it will be a cut-price version of Premium and will let in more riff raff.

  • +12

    Revanced is free

    • +1

      Since the new update my only issue is i never got notifications apart from that much prefer using this or tizintube on the google 4k streamer

  • -3

    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.

    • +3

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

      • 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.

        • 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.

  • Is this included if you get Google AI pro from pixel phone offer?

  • Great news!

    Although im an AI pro subscriber and just paid for premium lite.. guess I just won’t pay from next month onwards

    • You have to manually cancel

      • +1

        Yeah, I manually cancel
        So that’ll stop on 13 June… But should still continue on premium light as I’m an AI pro subscriber? My understanding.

  • Also for those that have Google security cameras, Google Home Premium is now included free in the AI Pro 5tb and up plans.

  • +10

    ReVanced for Android
    Ublock Origin for Firefox
    Tizentube for TV

    Haven't seen an ad in years

    • what about iOS

      • uBlock Origin Lite

      • I have Brave Browser on my partners iPad, does the job but dont think its ideal on iPhone since you miss out on nicer UX and stuff

      • +1

        SideStore + YouProExtra

        https://github.com/mrdrvt99/YouProEXTRA

        sideloading isn't hard to set up and once you set it up you don't need a computer to renew the apps.

    • +1

      Also Smart youtube TV for android tv, and God bless Sponsor Block.

      • I was using this before I found Tizentube Cobalt, pretty much the same but with the Youtube ux

        • Thanks I'll check it out, I just assumed it was for Tizen TVs.

  • +9

    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.

    • +2

      People are losing their minds in the Gemini Reddit

      every subreddit ever when a product/service changes

    • And yet you up vote this crap…

      • 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.

  • +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…

    • 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.

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

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