YouTube confirms paid subscription service

[Administrator]

A new paid subscription service for YouTube called YouTube Red is set to launch this month in the United States.
Going live on the 28th October, YouTube Red allows users to pay a monthly fee of $9.99 in return for ad-free videos. The subscription service also lets users save videos to watch offline, or allow videos to keep playing in the background on mobile devices while the screen is off or other apps are in use (think using YouTube to play an album, for instance).
Following in the footsteps of Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, YouTube Red also offers exclusive subscribers-only content from some of its biggest names including CollegeHumor, Rooster Teeth and, unsurprisingly, Pewdiepie. You can see the full list of exclusive projects here.
