Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon
It is a well-known thing that browser adblockers often fail to play nicely with YouTube these days. However, even if you paid for Premium Lite, Google says it will soon push even more ads.
Besides a non-ad-free experience, the $7.99 Premium Lite subscription also removed several other cool features like the ability to download videos for offline viewing and background play, which can be quite convenient for listening to music on the app. The company has seemingly started sending emails to customers who are using the Premium Lite tier, informing them about the change that begins later this month, on 30 June. German outlet Deskmodder also reported on this, which suggests that the rollout might be happening globally on the same June 30, 2025 date.
