As many of you may know, YouTube red is launching on the 28th of October, what do you all think of this? For those of you that don’t know, YouTube Red is a paid service offered by Google that will eliminate ads, mobile users will be able to download videos for offline viewing, and a few other things, all for $9.99/mo. I personally don’t think that this paid service will be much of a success, but what do you guys think?
Now from the perspective of a content creator, YouTube Red will be fantastic, as it will allows users to watch my videos without ads, and as long as the consumer is watching less than ~2000 videos/mo, I will likely be earning more money than I would with them having ads. That being said, if you want to support the channels you watch, YouTube Red allows you to do that, while still getting some extra features.
