Reports of users seeing “Premium” next to the 2160p switch in their YouTube app surfaced last month. Only a handful of users reported this, suggesting that it was simply an A / B test of the company.
It is not clear what the results of the experiment were, but it is good that YouTube has decided to withdraw and cancel it. A tweet in Japanese earlier this month revealed that YouTube is looking for feedback on the feature, which means it’s not completely abandoned yet.
