They def are trying to get in on that bandwagon but lol if you think Google is a techtech startup with no financial plans. If you run a business on the internet you basically suck Google's dick whoever you are.

Google just enjoys throwing money at random projects which may or may not pan out.

Has anyone actually paid money for Youtube Red? If so...why?

i could tell it was bad just from the tiny screenshot they used in the youtube app's popup ad. I have no idea why but i just knew

Uh yeah they do this already basically it's called adwords and that's where all their money comes from. And if you don't pony up you get bumfucked by competitors who will.

I wasn't kidding when I said if you run an internet business you have to suck Google's dick whether you're momandpop.com or Amazon.

Then you get something like Baidu that is getting sued/investigated for people finding stuff on search results after someone died after failed treatments using a search for medical providers in China.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/03/technology/baidu-china-student-death/

quote:

Wei recounted that in a desperate move to save him, his parents had borrowed money and sought an experimental treatment at a military hospital in Beijing based on Baidu search results.

"Baidu, I didn't know how evil it is and how it ranks medical information based on a bidding process," he wrote. "We thought: Baidu, a top-ranked hospital ... everything must be legitimate."

Here's 1/3 of the exclusive features you get when you pay for YouTube Red.



Did you know you can get this for free of charge just by doing two things?

1. Download Adblock Plus (or just keep hitting :f5: if you want)



2. Take the URL of whatever YouTube video you want to watch offline, take it to www.clipconverter.cc or www.onlinevideoconverter.com and you get to keep it that way!

Now you don't have to spend $10 on a useless premium service that only has exclusive 'YouTuber' shows, and a pointless music app that's not even on par with Google Play Music.

I was browsing through YouTube Red's free previews and episodes, this is one of them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEv9XMrPmrQ

This is a movie that you can purchase for only £6 ($10/$12?), although you could just...not buy it, let alone watch it.

No idea what the full name was, it starts with a U, and there's two versions of it. It was in the old hardware megathread.

So I tried out Origin on the Weapon of Choice music video and it showed me these results.



Now that was crazy how many ads were trying to pop up on that page.

So I tried it out with a couple of Vevo videos, ones that had over 50M or 90M views and the videos stopped entirely, I couldn't get them to play unless I turned off Origin.

I don't know whether this has to do with the amount of ad requests or domains, but as far as I know they just won't work for Vevo music videos (or the most popular ones anyways).

Still pretty good add-on though...maybe it works too good.

Yt red is hilariously bad. For weeks and weeks every time I opened the mobile app they were like heh do you want to try red? It's a free trial! I kept declining and then one day instead of a yes/no prompt it was just an okay. I guess they have to force people to try it out.

Does Google not know you can get anything you want on the internet for free using their own search engine?

I subscribed to YouTube Red because it came with Google music. It's handy when you're too lazy to find a YouTube video of music on Google play and just want to hurry up and listen to whatever it is.


A+ would receive for free as part of another worthwhile service any day.

Over the years I have had multiple apps that allow background play, block ads and allow download on mobile, but google eventually shuts them down and deletes all record of their existence from the entire internet, including your payment history if they were purchased, so when i have upgraded my phone or needed to wipe it i've lost them and had to go looking for a different option. Right now OGYoutube is still working if downloaded as an apk outside of the app store, it's not as good as the stuff that google has killed but it is still way better than the default youtube app. It's free, allows download, can be tricked into doing background play and has a bunch of other neat features (although sadly the ad blocking version doesn't work 100% of the time). If you need more reasons to hate google OGYoutube is actually an older version of the official youtube app, before they gimped it to drive people to google music.

google play music, which is so much loving better than spotify.

you can upload 50 000 of your own songs to their servers and stream from anywhere (you dont even need a subscription to do this, it's free)

and it has a sick UI, also "im feeling lucky" infinite playlists based on your listening habits which is basically the only way i listen to music anymore

oh and i can go "ok google, play some music" and it will start an "im feeling lucky" playlist :q:

so cool. love looking like an idiot in public

its actually the other way around. no one in their right mind would subscribe to yt red, you just get it along with play music. also no ads i guess

does it actually have music or do i have to upload everything because i wouldnt mind something thats pandora only better
