I have literally never heard of Youtube Red before reading this commend. Granted, I live in Ireland, where it's seemingly unavailable but... why isn't this promoted more widely?
- saurik 10y agoYou seem to have answered your own question, but you live in Ireland, where it's unavailable: if you live in a place where it is available, it is difficult to not know about it, because YouTube tries to up-sell you on it with house ads.
- lucideer 10y agoPerhaps, but I get very little of my knowledge from ads, and probably most of it from non-Irish media, blogs, and similar sources, hence my surprise. This is the first time I've seen the service mentioned on HN, which seems surprising in itself.
- rchaud 10y agoBecause Google today is Microsoft from the late 90s-mid 2000s; a million projects in every single possible market, with little to no unification across the commmon platform. Android OS alone has no less than 3 Google-made messaging apps: Hangouts, Allo and Duo.
