YouTube starts testing Premium Lite subscription for those who don’t like many ads but can handle a few

YouTube, the world’s most popular video streaming platform, is now testing a new premium lite subscription with fewer ads at half the price of the full-fledged premium subscription.

According to a post on Threads by a user named jonahmanzano, YouTube Premium Lite costs $8.99 a month, almost 50 per cent cheaper than the regular premium plan priced at $16.99. However, there is no confirmation if YouTube Premium Lite will also be available as an annual subscription plan.
