As YouTube rolled out its new streaming service Wednesday, users began to debate whether the extra perks will be worth the cost.
YouTube Red, the platform's long-anticipated paid streaming service, will be available for $9.99 per month, with a one-month free trial available to U.S. viewers.
It's ad-free, gives users access to YouTube videos offline and will feature Google Play music and a slate of new YouTube original content.
Since its inception 10 years ago, YouTube has been a democratic, entirely free space for creators and fans alike.
Some users are worried that Red will change that community feel, even though YouTube itself will remain almost entirely free.
