Search up Youtube Red on Google, looks like they're trying to get their hands on our money again...

Or if you're too lazy, apparently this thing is called "Youtube Red" and we now have PAY just to skip ads??
This article can explain this easier than I can: click here mate

And it says that all the Youtube stars must sign this, or all of their videos will vanish apparently...

All the features that we get with this we can already do with stuff like AdBlock and Youtube to Mp3/4, why should we have to pay $10 a month to gain access to crud we already have? If you ask me this is total bull s**t

sounds shit, bad feels for the YouTube people because it's a clause they must sign I assume.

but good luck to them trying to make money, I feel this will fail massively.

Ripperino in pepperoni Americans and Aussies ):

Advertising is by far and away my biggest gripe with modern society.

Everything wrong with the internet can be traced down to advertising.

Holy f**king shit.

YouTube stars as in YouTubers such as Pewdiepie?

Or all account?

I saw lots of people with the verified tag commenting on the official video about it, so we can assume thats correct about people like Pewdiepie

That's scary, but then again YT stars have to make money so I guess no contract = no $$$

Here's a reading material for this kind of case. The article states that it'd be a win-win situation for everyone, but don't know if it's really true...

it says it comes with a google play music subscription thing too

so that's got me wondering, are they gonna block all the music videos then to everyone who hasn't subscribed?

if they did that then it'd be pretty annoying af

but that's just turning people away y'know, may as well get apple music/spotify whatever if you wanna listen to music lol

i used to use spotify all the time but i can't stand the ads like every few songs. there used to be a third party ad blocker (it'd basically just mute spotify when ads were playing) but they figured it out and it doesn't work on new versions...

if im paying i might as well just go buy the cd's lmao. i don't really believe in paying for something you don't own.

True, but spotify's ads are manageable, like you get 30 minutes of music then maybe like 2-3mins top of ads which I don't mind

But paying for no ads however

A little update on YouTube Red: Has anyone noticed that the Japanese labels' YouTube accounts are gone, including AKB48?
