YouTube Premium dramatically improves the experience for frequent YouTube users. Its primary benefit is complete ad removal for uninterrupted viewing. Background play allows audio continuation while using other apps. Downloads enable offline viewing, saving data and working without internet. YouTube Music is included, offering an extensive library with good audio quality. 4K streaming is smooth with multiple quality options. YouTube Shorts are also ad-free. Family plans (up to six accounts) offer great value, with student discounts making it more accessible. Your subscription directly supports creators through revenue sharing. Watch history and playlists sync seamlessly across devices. While not inexpensive, Premium's value is undeniable for users watching over an hour of YouTube daily.
