Meet YouTube Red

[Default]

Tired of seeing ads while checking your favourite UKF video? Want a more ethical solution than AdBlock? Got a spare $9.99 a month?

Then you might want to say hello to YouTube Red. Announced last night, it’s a brand new membership service that’s set to launch in the US on October 28 (and the rest of the world in due course).

Based on the same concept as other subscription streaming services, the monthly fee will negate any adverts, allowing you to watch and listen uninterrupted, play videos in the background and download videos to watch offline.

The service, for now, is exclusive to North America. The first month is free ($9.99 per month thereafter) and it’s linked with Google Play so if you pay for that already then you’ll have access to YouTube Red. YouTube have also revealed a forthcoming YouTube Music app and content series exclusive to Red subscribers from popular creators such as PewDiePie, The Game Theorists and Tobuscus.

"Want a more 'ethical' solution...?"
Bruh, Google + ethics.

I am not paying $9.99/month for a feature I can get for free with AdBlock or uBlock Origin.

[Itachi]

I got adblock on my ipad lolss

[Yung Lean 2001]

Won't become anything serious. Just ignore it and move on as you do every day

[♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ]

Do you think they will get any revenue from this ?

[Charion]

Google, what's the next thing you gonna do if this one fails on you as-well?

[DadDelta]

And PewDiePie with his new show that will be on YouTube Red will get more money than he already gets. "I don't make YouTube because money..."

[Degree]

[Law]

[Jhem]

There is 4K videos available right now. Depends on the content creators render settings.

It was just an example . They could do other things, like making the movies on youtube free or for a discounted price , but then it would start a black market for youtube red accounts, just like netflix, hulu and crunchyroll
