YouTube Premium Lite is a cheaper way to get rid of ads on YouTube

At this point, most of us have learned to live with the endless barrage of ads on YouTube. It's the cost of having limitless entertainment at our fingertips. Of course, there are ways to stop the ads. If you're willing to pay $11.99 a month for a YouTube Premium subscription, you can watch YouTube videos without ads. For some users, the lack of ads is worth the price, but it is a rather steep price. In addition to eliminating ads, YouTube Premium also features offline downloads and ad-free access to YouTube Music. But what about the users that just want to get rid of the ads and don't care about the other perks? Enter: YouTube Premium Lite.

Over the weekend, a YouTube Premium user tried to cancel their subscription. As they revealed on ResetEra, Google attempted to reel the user back in with an interesting offer. Rather than ditch their subscription altogether, they could sign up for YouTube Premium Lite instead. The Lite version of the subscription, as the name suggests, removes many of the subscription's features. In fact, it seems to only offer an ad-free YouTube experience. YouTube has since confirmed the new tier.
