Hate the idea of paying for YouTube Premium? Imagine paying $240 a year for regular YouTube

TL;DR The UK government is considering expanding its annual £180 (~$240) TV license fee to cover on-demand streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, and Disney Plus. If implemented, the change could require households to pay a license fee even to watch regular YouTube videos, without getting any Premium benefits. The proposal aims to address declining BBC funding but hasn’t been finalized.
