How To Cancel Youtube Premium Free Trial 2021

Okay, let's be real. We've all been there. That alluring YouTube Premium free trial… it whispers sweet nothings of ad-free bliss.

Suddenly, you're binge-watching cat videos without interruption. Life feels… elevated. But then, dun dun DUN! The trial is ending.

The Great Escape: Canceling YouTube Premium (2021 Edition!)

First, head to the YouTube website. Yes, the very place that hooked you in the first place. Prepare for a minor battle of wills.

Look for your profile picture. It's usually chilling in the top right corner. Click it. Seriously, click it.

A little menu will pop up. You are searching for "Purchases and memberships." Find it. Click it!

This is where things get… slightly less obvious. YouTube, bless its heart, doesn't exactly scream, "CANCEL HERE!" It prefers the subtle approach.

See that "YouTube Premium" section? Good. Now, locate the "Manage membership" option. It's your golden ticket.

You are getting closer! This might take you to your Google account subscription page. Stay strong!

Find your YouTube Premium membership details. Scroll down. Look closely.

Ah, there it is! The sweet release of the"Cancel membership" button. A glorious sight.

Click it. Go on. I dare you. (Just kidding… I'm actually encouraging you.)

YouTube will ask you *why* you're leaving. It's like a breakup. Prepare your canned response.

Choose whatever reason feels right. "Too many cat videos already," is a perfectly valid option.

They might even offer you a discount! This is the emotional blackmail stage. Don't fall for it! (Unless you want to, of course. No judgment here.)

Confirm the cancellation. Read the fine print (if you're feeling particularly thorough). Bid farewell to ad-free viewing… for now.

Okay, here it is. I might get some flak for this. Deep breaths.

Sometimes… just *sometimes*… ads aren't *that* bad.

Hear me out! They're little breaks! A chance to stretch! A moment to contemplate the existential dread of our digital lives!

Plus, think of the creators! Those quirky YouTubers need to eat, too. Ads help them do that! (Okay, maybe they could use a *few* less ads.)

Of course, I totally get the appeal of YouTube Premium. Ad-free viewing is addictive.

But, hey, a little ad here and there never hurt anyone. (Probably.) Just my two cents. Don't hate me!

So, there you have it. Canceling your YouTube Premium free trial in 2021. And a potentially controversial opinion on ads. You're welcome.

Now go forth and enjoy your (slightly interrupted) viewing experience! And remember, there is always a skip ads button! Use it wisely.
