Tl; Dream
- YouTube Premium Subscribers pay for an ad -free viewing experience.
- Google experiments with a way for them to share ad -free videos with friends.
- Right now this is an extremely limited test, only available in selected countries.
It is a fact in modern life that much of the content we like is locked behind subscription services. And even though it is okay when we all choose to prioritize the subscriptions we value most, it can also make sharing things a little difficult – that has not clicked on a link from a friend at some point just to find himself met with a wage wall? Google seems to think in a way to possibly improve that type of sharing experience as it launches an experimental new feature for Youtube premium.
Ads on YouTube are a quick button topic, and although some viewers need no encouragement to register for prize, other intentions seem about Do everything in their power to avoid paying a single krone. And even though they can still watch videos, the ads they find themselves can prove to be an important source of frustration.
Perhaps to show them how much nicer life can be on the other side of the premium fence, YouTube has started a limited experiment where it allows some users to share up to 10 ad -free videos a month (via Android -Police). Their non-premium-subsidiating friends can then use these links to enjoy the same high quality, ad-free experience that paid users-just just for this single video.
As the system works, click the “Del” button in YouTube as normal, but now see an option to “share ad -free.” Each month you can generate these links for 10 videos, and each one can be seen on ad -free up to 10 times. The system is even smart on handling existing subscribers, and if you happen to share one of these links with a friend who already has a prize, the sight will not be counted on your allocation.
What is the catch? Well, for now, availability. Google’s only testing of this sharing feature in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Turkey and the United Kingdom, and even with a very small number of premium subscribers. If that includes you, we would love to hear about your experiences in the comments. Do your friends have black favorably, or are they still largely uninterested in premium?
