Main article: YouTube Premium
YouTube Premium (formerly YouTube Red) is YouTube's premium subscription service. It offers advertising-free streaming, access to exclusive content, background and offline video playback on mobile devices, and access to the Google Play Music "All Access" service.[202] YouTube Premium was originally announced on November 12, 2014, as "Music Key", a subscription music streaming service, and was intended to integrate with and replace the existing Google Play Music "All Access" service.[203][204][205] On October 28, 2015, the service was relaunched as YouTube Red, offering ad-free streaming of all videos, as well as access to exclusive original content.[206][207][208] As of November 2016, the service has 1.5 million subscribers, with a further million on a free-trial basis.[209] As of June 2017, the first season of YouTube Red Originals had gotten 250 million views in total.[210]
In May 2014, before Music Key service was launched, the independent music trade organization Worldwide Independent Network alleged that YouTube was using non-negotiable contracts with independent labels that were "undervalued" in comparison to other streaming services, and that YouTube would block all music content from labels who do not reach a deal to be included on the paid service. In a statement to the Financial Times in June 2014, Robert Kyncl confirmed that YouTube would block the content of labels who do not negotiate deals to be included in the paid service "to ensure that all content on the platform is governed by its new contractual terms." Stating that 90% of labels had reached deals, he went on to say that "while we wish that we had [a] 100% success rate, we understand that is not likely an achievable goal and therefore it is our responsibility to our users and the industry to launch the enhanced music experience."[211][212][213][214] The Financial Times later reported that YouTube had reached an aggregate deal with Merlin Network—a trade group representing over 20,000 independent labels, for their inclusion in the service. However, YouTube itself has not confirmed the deal.[205]
On September 28, 2016, YouTube named Lyor Cohen, the co-founder of 300 Entertainment and former Warner Music Group executive, the Global Head of Music.[215] In early 2018, Cohen began hinting at the possible launch of YouTube's new subscription music streaming service, a platform that would compete with other services such as Spotify and Apple Music.[216] The service is expected to be launched in March 2018.

The Need for Speed (1994)

The Need for Speed  (1994) Edit Main article:  The Need for Speed The original  Need for Speed  was released for  3DO  in 1994 with versions released for the PC ( DOS ) (1995),  PlayStation  and  Saturn  (1996) following shortly afterwards.  The Need for Speed and its  Special Edition  were the only games in the series to support DOS, with subsequent releases for the PC run only within Windows. The first installment of  The Need for Speed  was the only serious attempt by the series to provide a realistic simulation of car handling elements through the direct collaboration of Staff members from  Road & Track . Electronic Arts left the handling dynamics tuning with the automotive magazine's seasoned drivers to match vehicle behavior including realistic over and understeer that remains impressive decades later, as well as sounds made by the vehicles' gear control levers and other functions.

Under "Monetization," click Enable. Follow the on-screen steps to accept the YouTube Partner Program Terms. How much money does YouTube pay per view? Kay likely gets about  $7.60  per 1,000 ad views, down from $9.35 in 2012, according to TubeMogul, which buys and sells video ads. Ads are only run on a minority of videos shown. Roughly, a video creator will earn  $2,000  for every million views. "And then YouTube takes 45 percent," the Times notes. Advertisers only pay when someone clicks an ad or watches for 30 seconds.
