On Tuesday, October 21th, YouTube announced 'YouTube red' a new subscription plan that removes adverts from YouTube videos and offers additional 'premium' contents from top YouTube stars like PewDiePie.
The new YouTube red subscription would cost $9.99(N1,990.51) monthly on desktop, mobile Web and Android devices but there's an extra $3(N567.7) charge on iOS devices making it a total of $12.99(N2588.26) for iOS users. The additional $3 charge is meant to cover Apple's In-app purchase tax of 30 percent. The regular, Ad-supported version of YouTube would still be available for people that prefer that method of viewing.
One of the added benefits of the new YouTube red is offline viewing - Paying users would be able to save YouTube videos on their phones to watch later.
YouTube red would also support background viewing, meaning that premium users would be able to run YouTube videos on background as they run other applications.
YouTube is also this medium to launch YouTube music, a free music player. Non-subscribers can also use the YouTube music but with a few ads and it doesn't support background playing meaning the music doesn't stop when you leave the app or turn your screen off.
Users in United States can start paying for the YouTube red from October 28th. Google is also offering one month trial to start.
