YouTube just announced their $7.99/month ad-free subscription service. Add another a-la-carte plan to add your monthly Spotify, Netflix, etc. budget.
I'm curious how much of total video plays/time spent on YouTube is from music. I know many people default their music search to YouTube, over Spotify and other services dedicated to music streaming.
@rrhoover I pretty much only use youtube now to listen to music. For some reason its just easier to run an extra chrome tab or use an extension than to have a separate account on yet another service.
This has been in the works for quite a while, so it's surprising that they're doing a private beta. Seems to be Googles go-to move for generating buzz with new products (see Inbox).
As far as pricing:
"For the first six months, access will be free and then go up to $7.99. The charge will be $9.99 for people who are not invited but sign up next year."
