Internet denizens have been clamoring over YouTube’s announcement of “YouTube Red“, an ad-free subscription service soon to milk YouTube’s legion of lowest common denominator watchers.
New exclusive shows are also apparently being planned for the service, naturally featuring only the most esteemed and recognizable “YouTubers” to further their endeavors in attracting as many buyers as possible.
A CM for YouTube Red:

The service will cost $10 monthly, though whether it is on par with Netflix for more than just price remains to be seen (although it should easily have it beat for cat videos).
Or like just get an ad blocker and never see ads anywhere, ever. Plus the virus protection of ad blockers incidentally afford.
I see this eventually ending up in the Google graveyard.

I just hope this doesn’t mean that they’re going to start increasing the length and number of ads we see.
Length and number is determined by the content creator not youtube owners. I’ve seen some content creators be a real dick by putting 5~10 ads in their video. Granted they are long videos but still, 5+ ads is overkill.
So it is like regular YouTube with a YTD video ap and Ad Blocker, and torrents for “exclusive” content. Except that they want $120 a year now.
I’ll keep my money, and use it for Patreon. There are enough rich fools who will subsidize my pirate ways for the rest of the channels.
Well it has already been Announced that youtube Red will have Tv Shows and Movies as a feature. So it aims to be a Netflix rival and due to it being Global it will easily Rival Netflix However In the States it won’t have much of a chance till it gets alot more content.
Wait and see, I suppose.
But no way am I using Youtube Red to watch Pew.
