Recently, I discovered what YouTube RED was and at first I thought that it was rather pointless. There are three things that you get with YouTube RED; you can download videos, have ad free videos, and can have background play(the ability to keep your videos playing while using other apps or with your screen off.) When I first saw these three things that you can get from YouTube RED, I thought that it was ridiculous. Why should I have to pay $9.99 for these three things that should just be free? I also have Google Play Music which is also $9.99 a month so I get unlimited music and I can download music as well. This also allowed me to have YouTube RED on my phone, so I got to see if it was really worth it or not. For the first few days, I didn't even realize I had YouTube RED, until I saw the logo on top of my phone. I didn't particularly like the downloading of videos, because it took a long time to download the videos, and the videos took a lot of space on my phone. Moreover, I still don't understand on how the background play works, so that has also been useless for me. However, the last thing that you get from YouTube RED is the ad free videos. This is the best thing from YouTube RED. It becomes hard to tell that you even have YouTube RED after awhile because you are just so used to seeing ad free videos. But when I started watching videos without YouTube RED, I realized that there was literally and ad for every single video that I watched. Not only were there a lot of ads, there were a lot of really long ads, such as the one minute ads that you can't skip, or the consistent 30 second ad that you couldn't skip and got really tired of seeing after the fifth time it showed up. This is when I realized that having YouTube RED was such an enjoyable thing to have, especially because I am an avid YouTube watcher. Overall I would say that YouTube RED is a big waste of $9.99, but if you watch YouTube a lot, I would recommend YouTube RED just because it is worth it to get rid of all of the annoying ads.
