YouTube is giving free service as a gift to its longtime Music, Premium subscribers
YouTube is rewarding its loyal customers with gifts like free service. YouTube Premium users who subscribed for more than six years of service are now getting 12 months of free service, reported 9to5Google. This was first reported by a Reddit user.
A user reported that after being a subscriber to YouTube Premium for “2222 days (or precisely 3,199,680 minutes)”, he got a “Time to celebrate” prompt in the YouTube Music for Android. If you are one of these select users, you will also be greeted with an on-screen shower of presents and confetti.
“…we want to thank you for your incredible support. We’ve just enabled a little something on your account for you:
YouTube and YouTube Music ad-free, offline, and in the background. 12-months free. That’s on us!”
