about youtube red service

[kawashima]

What do you think about "youtube red"?
-started in USA on Oct 28th
-costs about $10/month
-ad free
-can download videos(which is available only 30days)
-can access to youtube red only videos
-background play(?)

for famous youtube creaters, if they don't subscribe to youtube red, their videos will be "private videos" and no one can watch them.
(I'm not sure if this "famous" is correct though)

For most average youtube creaters and users this service seems to be pointless.

I'm not aware of enough compelling original content on there to persuade me to pay $10 a year, let alone a month.

The most I'll do it is to selectively enable ads on a few regular channels.

Wasn't Baron von Grumble bawwwing about "Google Fuss" a couple of years back and threatening to move to Vimeo?

Then he went boring-and-shit and I stopped caring, but I see he didn't actually follow through on that.

So maybe there is a market for rinsing content producers once they hit a magic number of subscribers. It'll be harder for them to bypass it.

I download all longer Youtube videos in the highest possible definition and watch them on a viewer. Or re-encode them and watch them through my projector via a USB stick in the DVD player (too lazy to have hooked the PC up to the projector yet, the cables are routed and everything).

Simple. You install a program called "youtube-dl" type that into the command line followed by the "share" address of the video. It downloads the highest qualtiy version of the video it can find with the advertising stripped out and saves it to your home folder.

Very simple little program and fast with it due to lack of front-end nonsense.

I think its a very tenuous thing for a tech company to presume they are "too big to fail" and act accordingly.

You only need to fuck-up slightly and people will drop you and move on to greener pastures - ie myspace.

I use jDownloader.org for all my downloads anyway so when you copy a YouTube link to it, it lets you choose what to grab.

i.e. 1080p / 720p / audio / thumbnail

Also does any conversions needed. Works with Facebook too, will download any FB video.
