| Youtube Red - Youtube's paid subscription
For a sec i thought this was some kind of April Fools joke.
I'm a little surprised...but not really.
Not too much info has been released about how this will affect Youtube but seems like this is expected to change the online video landscape. YouTube Red: $10 Per Month For Video With No Ads, Plus Streaming Music, Plus Original Content YouTubers Are Up In Arms About YouTube Red$ http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/yo...usic-1.3283676

Will this work with a canadian google account with VPN? I already pay for google music subscription which would be included with this new service. I'd be totally down to pay for VPN if it works.

Im not annoyed by youtube ads, they usually offer an option to skip the ad after 5 seconds, so whatever, and if you're stuck with one of those 30+ second ads you can't skip, just reload the video a couple times and you'll either get no ad or an option to skip Quote:

I think YouTube should realize that next generation of media service would be Oculus VR videos.

Not off topic as google music is included with YouTube red sub. Looks like i'm going to switch to Red as soon as it hits Canada as I can include artists who upload on youtube but not spotify.

What if you have 2,048 bit 128 core 1,000GHz hard drive?
Or is internet speed fundamentally limited by something else? Like LTE, 56k, etc?

I've been using GPM since the early access days. Honestly, I feel it's definitely worth the $ each month.
Wife is on a 3 month trial of GPM, uses Spotify too. Likes GPM far more.
