Ya. I was originally a Google Play music subscriber which got turned into
YouTube music, for $9.99usd. Now they’re increasing the cost by like $4 after December. So I moved to the spotify family plan and now I share with my love ones for only a little bit more than the new YT price.
YT music was turning to sit though. It would always play music video audio with long ass shitty intros when the studio album music existed in their catalog. Even with the music video option turned to off.
They are a well known brand/ company with reasonably priced family plan. Since I wanted to give back to my family I figured it’d be the easiest transition for all of them since they’re not very tech savy for the high seas or random other better ways to listen to music that take more time to learn, setup, and troubleshoot. (I’m not about to be tech support for everyone). Now another benefit is I can be basic and listen to spotify, on an apple product drinking my daily starbucks while driving my Tesla then scroll through insta and tiktok all day after eating Chipotle.
Also I think YouTube Music pays the least to artists… at least according to some random chart I saw a while ago.
My understanding of grandfathered is that you pay the rate you signed up for, and when it increases, new users pay the higher rate but you keep your rate as long as you stay subscribed. If that is not what you think grandfathered means, what does it mean to you? And if my definition matches yours, how is this not the correct use of grandfathered?
We were previously which I believe is what op is referring to. I was one of the original sign ups for GPM back when it was $7.99 per month and I haven’t received a price increase until now. I was “grandfathered in” to the old price.
That’s not what Grandfathered means. Basically, original subscribers are being forced onto a new contract.

If you were in the beta. It’s 7.99.
I’ve been paying 7.99 since day one of Google Play Music. They added YouTube Red (Premium) shortly after.
What about ReVanced? Or ViMusic?
Why Spotify? They’re the worst streaming platform with the lowest pay for artists.

Ahhh yes, brain off. You’re one of those.
Thank you. I was thoroughly confused by this title and the article’s use of “grandfathered”.

You both got it right, but OP got it wrong. They’re not grandfathered if they’re getting the price increase, and they are.

Maybe It should say grandfathered you tube users are to be estranged.
