Presumably, there is some kind of way I can work around it, I saw something about clearing the cache because of stored failures of handshaking, but it seems like on the whole maybe it is time to start fuckin' with Peertube or something instead.

Yes I know what Google play music was, I used it in HS...I also have had premium since it was launched as YT red. I don't recall the price ever being $8 though. It was $10 at launch and it's always included the music for that price. The hike to $14 had nothing to do with music. I'm in the US though so maybe regions are different? I had my $10 price for years after the price increase...only somewhat recently did they bump me to the new price.

I did some looking online and red launched alongside YTM for $10/mo in October 2015.

I'm in the US as well, Iowa. Youtube premium no ads was $7.99 at launch. Eventually they bundled in gpm and increased it to 12.99 at which point I canceled. This was just prior to the rollout of ytm. If they A/B tested my area I've no idea, but I'm not incorrect. I literally just checked my email receipt.

Well, I don't know then, this is super odd because here's the wayback for the launch of YT red and it says $10/mo with GPM included. The earlier pages archived all say "coming soon" and this time frame lines up with wikipedia's launch date as well as the prices listed on wikipedia. I really don't understand what's going on here then https://web.archive.org/web/20151031015519/youtube.com/red

EDIT: I just went and found my sign up confirmation from 8/1/2017 and the price was $10/mo and included YTM
