The Breakup Process: How to Cancel YouTube Premium

Cancelling YouTube Premium is like ending a relationship: it can be messy, but it’s necessary to move on. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you break free from your YouTube Premium subscription:

  • Open the YouTube app on your Android or iOS device, or visit YouTube on your desktop browser.
  • Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner and select “Paid memberships.”
  • Find the YouTube Premium membership you want to cancel and tap on it.
  • For Android and desktop users, tap “Deactivate” or “Manage Membership” and then “Deactivate”. For iOS users, tap “Manage Apple Subscriptions”.
  • You’ll be prompted with a warning message. If you’re sure about cancelling, tap “Continue to cancel.”
  • Select a reason for cancelling (or don’t; it’s up to you), and confirm your decision.

And just like that, you’ve cancelled your YouTube Premium subscription! Remember, you’ll still have access to the Premium features until your current billing cycle ends.

The Aftermath: Life After YouTube Premium

Now that you’ve cancelled YouTube Premium, you might be wondering what’s next. Here are some alternatives to consider if you still want to enjoy an enhanced YouTube experience without the monthly fee:

  • NewPipe: An open-source alternative for Android users that provides ad-free playback and background play, but it’s unavailable on the Google Play Store.
  • SkyTube: Another open-source alternative for Android users, offering ad-free playback and a clean interface.

Remember, life after YouTube Premium might involve some adjustments, like dealing with ads or finding new ways to download videos for offline viewing. But hey, change can be a good thing, right?

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.

Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).

This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.

I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
