YouTube Red: What is it and how does it stack up against other streaming services?

Red targets YouTube fans who want to skip ads, while giving them a chance to pass along some cash to their favorite video creators, who'll share in the new revenues.

How is YouTube Red changing the streaming game and how does it stack up against the streaming giants Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu plus?

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime...most people have at least one of these streaming services.

They've completely changed the game when it comes to the way T.V. and movies are made and watched.

But now, there's someone else getting into the streaming game...YouTube.

The video sharing website just announced the original content they'll offer starting February 10th through their premium platform: YouTube red.

The list of upcoming original content includes YouTube stars like :

Lily Singh starring in her upcoming movie "A Trip to Unicorn Island" which follows her on her first world tour.
