    Two years ago, YouTube launched YouTube Red, a service that gave subscribers an on-demand music service, more or less similar to Spotify or Apple Music — as well as access to original programming created just for the service. YouTube Red also removed ads from the world’s largest video service.

    All of that cost $10. But now that’s changing.

    Next week, YouTube is launching YouTube Music — a revamped version of its existing music service that is functionally the same, but comes with extra bells and whistles like personalized playlists based on your YouTube history and other usage patterns.

    Let's get these people moving faster! Supporter

    Sometimes it feels like these companies just launch new services to support executive PMPs, make announcements over conference calls, and try to boost share prices with promises of new revenue streams. I mean, the latter is the cornerstone of business anymore, but trying to force into this space against the established offerings that still aren't making money themselves seems like a sure-fire failure.
