YouTube enters Apple’s top-grossing app charts on the back of its subscription offering

<p>YouTube Red’s free one-month trial period ended for the first wave of its users a few days back, leaving us to wonder if enough of them would be willing to pay to keep their subscription. Well, the initial portents are encouraging.</p><p>YouTube launched its  long-talked-about paid service  (http://www.techhive.com/article/2999863/streaming-services/hands-on-with-youtube-red-googles-best-effort-yet-at-revamping-its-video-service.html) late last month, giving users the ability to disable ads, access all kinds of exclusive content and features, and stream unlimited songs from Google Play Music, all for a flat $10 per month. Everyone who signs up gets to try the service for free for one month, which in the case of launch-day subscribers ended on November 28. The good news for Google is that a decent chunk of those early adopters appear to have stuck around and are happily forking out the monthly subscription fee.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3011054/streaming-services/youtube-enters-apple-s-top-grossing-app-charts-on-the-back-of-its-subscription-offering.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
