Youtube Red - Your Take?

[Disgustipated]

Youtube is launching Youtube Red tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/red

$9.99 per month for ad-free content. If you already pay $9.99 per month for Google Music (which I do), you get Red for free and vice versa.

Considering a lot of folks are cutting the cord and streaming only; what do you think? Sounds like a decent deal to me.

Polé to follow.

Sounds like another porn site in disguise, to me (Red… red district etc.)
Back to your old tricks, huh?

 

[Oh_That_Guy]

I don't use youtube anywhere near enough to warrant paying for it. I'm not surprised they've done this because they've never been able to pull a profit and Google isn't going to take that for very long.

 

[doctor_insanus]

I'm more of a RedLetterMedia guy, myself.

 

[phrodeau]

Is it anything like Pepsi Blue?

 

[BabblingBrooke]

I've not even heard of it. Is it being advertised only on YouTube? I guess that would make the most sense.

 

[spacekowboy]

I'm not buying it. It's another cash grab is all.
Oh you don't want advertisements? Well you can pay for our service... Brought to you by Pepsi, the choice of a new generation and Gillette: The Best A ManCan Get.

 

[spacekowboy]

Then again, I'm pretty cynical.

Hulu is doing the same thing. You don't want the 2 or 3 commercials? Ok, pay us $10. Oh and here's a commercial telling you we won't show you any commercials.

Is Gillette really the best a man can get?

I wouldn't know. I use dollar shave club.

Why couldn't they just call it Redtube?

That one's been taken.

 

[doowdniw]

That one's been taken.

I suppose if I want to open a sex shop / wheel store, you'll tell me pornhub is taken, too?

 

[pointless]

i always forget that youtube has ads.

 

[RoryN]

It'll be interesting how ad-free services will progress when Netflix starts putting in tons of commercials.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Does it mean I can put together my favorites of Vevo "official videos" and they will play all the way through my list? If so $10 is a good price.

Pornwife is taken too.

 

[pointless]

i also like the save videos to play offline thing they are offering that you can also already do with a wide variety of programs. sure, maybe they'll find a way to block adblockers and downloaders, but until they do they can go fuck themselves.

Sonofabitch!!

I missed this. Me, too. Funnily enough, those DSC ads were a YouTube smash in the beginning.

The service is pretty cool so far and the more I use it, the more it can be used as a Netflix type thing.
