In the current era of companies like Apple, Spotify, Pandora and Amazon trying to make a buck in the music streaming market, it was just a matter of time before YouTube, the second most used search engine, entered the fray.

On October 28 YouTube released YouTube Red, a subscription based membership which gives viewers the option to pay $9.99 a month to get rid of ads, play videos in the background while you use your phone for other things and download videos for later viewing without Internet connection. As of now these are the main features you receive when subscribing to YouTube Red, but the company also plans on bringing exclusive original content in early 2016 from several content creators such as PewDiePie, Fine Brothers Entertainment, Joey Graceffa and many more to those who are paid subscribers.

Starting in early 2016 YouTube will provide funding to big YouTube content creators. With this funding creators will produce original series

and movies. PewDiePie will begin the reality-adventure series, titled “Scare PewDiePie”, with the help from the creator of The Walking Dead. In this series PewDiePie will encounter horror filled situations inspired by video games he’s played on his channel. Rooster Teeth will partner with Full screen Films to create “Lazer Team,” an action-comedy feature film which will follow four small town boys who discover an alien ship which will lead to a battle to save the Earth.

These projects aren’t the only ones being produced, YouTube has also announced eight more major projects like these on their blog and will be announcing more, which you can find more information when you follow the QR code.

Membership isn’t only for YouTube videos but extends to Gaming and Music, which are two recent additions to the YouTube family. If all this isn’t enough to reel you into subscribing, as an added bonus once you subscribe you also gain access to Google Play Music for no extra charge.
