the youtube red announcement also said it was coming to canada "soon". given that they rebranded the whole service quicker than they could manage to expand to Canada, i don't have too much hope for youtube's definition of soon.
A few weeks ago I had a pre-roll ad for YouTube Red. Being in the UK I assumed this meant it was finally launching here but when I followed-up it was still the original set of countries.
I don't understand the roadblock. They already have license to show the videos, just give me them without ads!
Not only that, but as a Canadian for things like Cobra Kai I need to pay outright to view - that'd be months of subscription payments in one web series if I wanted to watch it.
Yeah, youtube red/music key has been "coming soon" to some European countries for years already (though it was initially available for play music subscribers for a few months during some limited release/pilot).
