October 15, 2020 by Mona 3 Comments

One of the most used apps in the world, the YouTube app is a door to seemingly limitless content. Let’s be honest. There’s practically no one in the world who hasn’t heard about YouTube.

If you are watching a video online, then most probably it is a YouTube video. In YouTube, users can do a variety of things like create a channel and upload their videos on any topic, or they can live stream any content or game while sharing their experiences.

Different kinds of videos uploaded by different types of different users like you and me. It is a handy app to gain fame and money. One can find videos related to different fields, such as education, technology, gaming, cooking, and many more.

YouTube Subscriptions

There are two kinds of users on YouTube. They are YouTube premium subscribed users and ordinary YouTube users without any sort of subscription. Users having a YouTube premium subscription enjoy many different benefits.

These benefits include enjoying millions of music and songs without getting interrupted by advertisements, downloading songs in the device for offline listening, or use background play to keep on playing music while using other apps.
