What is YouTube premium?
YouTube Premium (formerly YouTube Red) is a subscription service offered by the video platform YouTube. The service provides ad-free access to content across the service, as well as access to premium YouTube Originals programming produced in collaboration with the site's creators, downloading videos and background playback of videos on mobile devices, and access to the YouTube Music music streaming service.
The service was originally launched in November 14, 2014 as Music Key, offering only advertisement-free streaming of music videos from participating labels on YouTube and Google Play Music.The service was then revised and relaunched as YouTube Red on October 31, 2015, expanding its scope to offer advertisement-free access to all YouTube videos, as opposed to just music.
YouTube announced the rebranding of the service as YouTube Premium on May 17, 2018, alongside the return of a separate, YouTube Music subscription service. Later in the year, it was reported that YouTube was planning to make some of the original content associated with the service available on an ad-supported basis.

Is YouTube premium worth getting?
Unless you have lots of interest in YouTube Originals, Premium isn't worth it. And if you don't use YouTube's mobile apps often, you won't appreciate all the Premium benefits. But if you want to get rid of YouTube ads and would use YouTube Music Premium regularly, then YouTube Premium is a good value.

If you are a YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium member, you can use the offline features of your paid membership on up to 10 mobile devices at a time. If you try to download a video on a new device once you've reach this limit, the oldest of the 10 devices will be de-authorized.
