Youtube Premium Canada, tax?

1

Hi, I’m wondering if any of you know if Youtube Canada is charging tax with it’s premium subscription. It’s 17.99/month for a family plan, which is already steep and if I have to add 15% (I’m in Quebec) it would be even worst. Just wondering.
Any of you have tried it? This the other thing, I can’t try it in Quebec, we can’t get a trial here, which totally sucks and I have NO idea why we can’t get it.

Thanks!

I can’t speak to Canada, but here in Australia the Tax was included.

You should be able to cancel after the first month if it’s not what you were expecting.

I find it fine, I was grandfathers in from YouTube red. It depends on how you use YouTube. I listened to a fair amount of YouTube and often have friends over and we watch a fair amount when we get together.

So for me the main benefit is in being able to play content without the screen on, on mobile and being Ad free.

For a very long time I was fine with the YouTube advertising model, but after YouTube red came out I found that the platform started becoming almost hostile with ads. There were a lot more ad’s everywhere, of a lower quality and highly repetitive.

I value not only my time but my cognitive load, soi made the decision to value those things higher then the slight cost they were asking, and I knew it would likely pay the creators I cared about more then they otherwise would since my ad viewing had an decrease in click through rates.

Google play music subscription was also a nice addition to.

Thanks again for your feedback Ben. I, like you, despise ads. I’ve been using a PVR for almost 10 years so I could skip them when using the regular TV and like you, it seems that youtube just pesters you with ads even for small videos so it’s getting annoying.
