YouTube Red benefits:

• • Ad-free videos: Watch videos without interruptions
• • Save offline: Save videos and songs on your mobile device to watch offline
• • Background play: Keep videos or music playing when using other apps or when your screen’s off
• • Audio mode: Listen to audio only on the YouTube Music app
• • Google Play Music subscription: Included at no additional cost

 

As a current user of Google play music I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the YouTube icon say "YouTube Red" at no additional cost

You're paying for it. They start charging you after the trial ends.

[No]

It would be nice if they would unbundle Google play music, I already pay for Spotify and don't want to switch. 

[No]

I get it bundled with my mobile  plan so for me they would have to have it available on its own for a reasonable price.

Until then vessel is a better option for ad free content for me. I know this kinda ignores the other benefits of YouTube red and I would be willing to pay more than the vessel sub price, just not that much. 

Also, imo spotify > play music

Well Canada is having more of a currency problem.....though both are still poor when compared to the USD (which doesn't make sense because the US has the worst debt of any country in the world).

Google is a corporation, and corporations love money.

 

If it's not in Canada, I'd say that it probably has to do with regulations, laws, restrictions, fill-in-the-blank here.  Thank the Canadian government and/or CRTC or CRTC-like bodies for this.

That's entirely irrelevant? Canada is far from going bankrupt and is still a rich country.

The Canadian dollar and Australian are weak at the moment, meaning things cost more.

Also known as $10 / month or $.33 a day. Worth it for some people.

so they charge 12-13$/montth instead of 10 like everyone else on the planet, this is a non issue.

Redtube has been free and available everywhere for a long time. Was it banned in Australia?
