In January 2016, YouTube Redwill become a Netflix of sorts, with new original shows and movies created by YouTube’s top content creators. Of course, the YouTube we all love is not changing, and neither are the YouTube Kids, Gaming or Music apps. They are still free, but you will also be able to enjoy them outside the US very soon.
