YouTube is a powerful search engine; infact it is the second largest search engine in the world, just behind Google, and Google owns YouTube. YouTube is an entertainment powerhouse that shares videos on a global scale. YouTube offers a premium subscription that lets you enjoy some perks that are not available for the free tier.
Watching YouTube Videos Ad-Free
When you buy the YouTube Premium subscription, you can watch your YouTube videos ad-free. YouTube's whole business model and ecosystem depend on it serving ads to the people watching videos hosted on its servers. You can enjoy watching YouTube videos without any commercial interventions with its premium plan.
Download Videos For Offline Viewing On Both Desktop And Mobile Devices
YouTube Premium allows you to download any videos from its video hosting platform for offline viewing, as there is a separate download section available on both desktop and mobile apps. With the offline viewing feature, you can watch your favorite YouTube videos, which can be TV shows, vlogs, entertainment videos, or even music videos, while traveling and specifically in those cases when you do not have access to the internet.
YouTube Has A Powerful Data Infrastructure
Millions of videos are uploaded to YouTube on a consistent basis, and also there is a huge catalog of already existing videos hosted on this video-sharing platform. This means YouTube has the ability to store over a billion gigabytes of data, and there seems to be no end to this data storage.
Additional Perks Of YouTube Premium
- Background play on mobile devices.
- Access to exclusive YouTube Originals.
- YouTube Music Bundled Subscription.
- You can get the first month of YouTube Premium for free.
- YouTube membership fee is shared with the YouTube creators when you watch their content.
