Fed up with ads on YouTube? A tip allows you to escape it for two months, by taking advantage of a free trial period for the paid YouTube Premium subscription. Here’s how to take advantage of it.

A way to make investments as profitable as possible, while encouraging the user to subscribe to the YouTube Premium subscription at 12.99 euros per month, which removes advertisements and allows videos to be downloaded for offline and backward playback -plan, and provides access to the music streaming service YouTube Music, in order to be rid of it.
But the price of the subscription is enough to put off more than one person, and rightly so.

But be careful not to forget to unsubscribe once the trial period is over!
