Youtube Red is coming but will Google get Green from Me?
You know what’s grand about the fact that Youtube Red is on the way? Google has decided to charge iOS users ($12.99) more than everyone else ($9.99). Subscribers for both would get an ad-free Youtube experience starting October 28th and producers like Fine Brothers Entertainment (Emo Dad) would be bringing in a bunch of new content to make sure the up-tick is worth it.
Right now, I don’t see the value. If you look at the upcoming Youtube Red lineup, there’s really nothing that looks all that appealing to me at the moment to warrant spending the extra cash. It will be interesting to see if Youtube Red would feature original content that would be feature-length or if they would team up with companies in a similar manner as Netflix and Marvel do.
Do you guys have any interest in shelling out a $10 spot for Youtube content? Sound off below.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
