YouTube Premium — the ad-free subscription plan offered by the video-streaming platform — has received a price hike in Italy, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia and several other countries, according to claims on social media. In certain European countries, it has become more expensive by approximately EUR 2 (roughly Rs. 186) for the ‘Single’ plan, while the hike is also applicable on the ‘Family’ plan. This development comes a month after the Google-owned platform raised its subscription prices in India.
