Yeah. That’s normal if you subscribe to things through (iOS or android) apps.

Google and apple don’t allow apps you roll their own payment methods to “protect their users”. Apps have to use the Google/Apple payment system where Google/Apple take a 30% cut of every payment.

With YouTube being owner by Google they probably don’t have to pay those 30% on Android, but they have to on iOS.

I was subscribed to reddit Premium for a long time (at the old, grandfathered in price), because it gave me ad free browsing, the ability to sort saved posts into categories and filtering subs from r/all before that was available to everyone.

Premium also gave you 700 coins per month, so now I have 20000 coins saved up.
