User blog comment:XenobladeShulk1503/DOWN WITH YOUTUBE RED!!! DESTROY THE ELITIST OLIGARCHY!!!/@comment-6812733-20151026021543

This pure ignorance just forces me to comment (damn you for making me doing something other than looking at the activity page!).

YouTube Red isn't anything like you've just said. It's ad-free version of YouTube, for a cost of 9,99$ a month (most certainly will be the same in euros). The normal YouTube will still be there for everyone. YT Red also tries something similar to Amazon Prime/Hulu from what I've heard: It's giving some youtubers a chance to have their own shows on it, exclusive of course, that's how business works. If you're going to say... Who am I kidding, of course someone is going to say, that that's bad/capitalistic/un-communistic/imperialist/american/whatever but with that logic, I'm surprised none of those people have whined about Patreon for example. There're ways to have donor-exclusive streams on it. Basicly what YT Red is doing too, pay a bit to see some exclusive stuff. Another few things that YT Red will do: Save videos for offline viewing, give you the ability to keep videos running in the background of your mobile device (I have no idea how this works currently as I do not use my phone for almost anything) and give you a free subscription to Google Play Music. Side note, if you do own a subscription to Google Play, you get a free subscription to YT Red.

TL:DR Normal Youtube will still be there, this is most likely a test to see if YT can get a bit more money, kinda like Google+ which has been said to be separating from YouTube. If you don't like it, give your opinion to YouTube so they know that there are people who do not like this new feature.

Fun Fact Of The Day: Companies first and foremost priority is making money.
