Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] YouTube subscription more $$ for iOS users

I believe it's more about getting access to googles streaming music thing.

It's reaching saturation with me. The subscriptions are piling up.

Holding back videos until you've suffered through an ad is too much. It's insulting. Often, I just skip the video. No way I'm going to pay Google $150 in blackmail just to see a few clips ad free.

Google, you're getting greedy, and that is evil.

With so many things being monetised, sooner or later we would be paying $10 a month many times over, the internet will be expensive

Then users will be asking for ads

From today's WSJ:

<<
LOS ANGELES—Google Inc. is rolling out an ad-free subscription service, YouTube Red, along with a host of original programming to lure paying subscribers to its massive YouTube platform.
YouTube Red will cost $9.99 a month for Android users when it launches in the U.S. next week after years of development. It will be available when subscribers sign on a variety of devices and apps, including a new YouTube Music app that is set to launch later this year. The YouTube Kids app doesn't allow users to sign in, so it won't immediately support the ad-free service.
YouTube Red will expand to other major markets next year. For users of iPhones and other Apple Inc. devices, the service will cost $12.99 a month. The subscription price for Apple users is more expensive because Apple charges app makers a 30% fee on in-app purchases such as subscriptions, a Google spokeswoman said.
