I do not think that many Russians were waiting for this, but Google still decided to launch a paid service YouTube Red, which for $ 10 per month will offer users a completely different YouTube instead of the one to which they are accustomed. Paid service will be spared from advertising, and will also offer subscribers various bonuses like new shows from famous videoblogers. YouTube Red starts on October 28, 2015.
You're probably wondering: "Why did Google call the new Red service?" After all, there is already such a popular pornographic site as RedTube, which can cause quite contradictory feelings in people. Whatever the case, the management of the company has an answer for you:
"During our conversations with fans of the service, we came to the conclusion that YouTube is associated with most people with red color. Among other things, many people associate red with love, and also with a red carpet. And if you are suddenly interested, we are little interested in the similarity of the service name to the other site you are thinking about, "explains one of the service managers during the press conference.
In addition to the lack of annoying video advertising, YouTube Red subscribers will be able to watch TV shows and movies from well-known video bloggers and channels. Such, for example, as PewDiePie, Joey Graceffa, Fine Brothers Entertainment, CollegeHumor and others. However, if popular channels and video bloggers refuse to sign an agreement with Google regarding their participation in the YouTube Red program, all their videos will be unilaterally deleted. This is done in order to fill the paid service with content as soon as possible. In addition to accessing these videos, each subscriber will have access to the music streaming service YouTube Music, which will soon begin its work, and to the game service YouTube Gaming. Another useful feature will be the ability to view the videos offline.
Creators of video content that have concluded a contract with Google will be able not only to publish their videos in the paid segment of the service, but will also receive subscribers' money for this as an alternative to advertising revenue. Many Internet users have already begun to worry that the hour is near when, in order to look at cute seals, they will have to shell out for $ 10. To melt the ice in the hearts of skeptics, Google offers one month of free subscription for everyone so that they can evaluate the benefits of the new service. Another nice thing was the fact that subscribing to Google Play Music automatically gives you access to Youtube Red and vice versa. These two subscriptions are interchangeable, and you do not have to pay twice.
If you decide to pay Google $ 10 for access to the YouTube Red service, do not pay for it through your iOS-based gadgets. Apple holds 30% of each purchase in the App Store, so the subscription to YouTube Red, designed through the iPhone or iPad, will cost you $ 13. Yes, Google does not want to lose money, so it initially pawned additional costs in the cost of the service for iOS-users, so pay it more correctly through the usual browser version. Android users, for obvious reasons, do not have to pay an additional $ 3.
