Why am I being charged $18.99 for YouTube Premium?

Your YouTube Premium costs $18.99 because you likely subscribed through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, which adds a surcharge (around 30%) to cover Apple's fees, making it more expensive than the standard $13.99 individual plan. To pay the lower price, you need to cancel your current subscription and sign up directly through the YouTube website in a web browser (on any device) after your old subscription expires, avoiding the Apple tax.

What is the 8 minute rule on YouTube?

The YouTube 8-minute rule refers to a monetization threshold where videos 8 minutes or longer become eligible for mid-roll ads (ads placed within the video), not just pre-roll (before) or post-roll (after) ads, maximizing creator revenue.
