Can someone sell me on this?

Why would I want it when I already download all YT videos without ads before watching them already?

You are a very atypical user if that is the case. So maybe Youtube Red isn't for you.

1. You're supporting content creators as they make a cut of your monthly fee. Creating content costs money as well as creative time and effort.

2. It allows you to watch YouTube legitimately ad-free across all your devices. This includes the YouTube app on Android and the YouTube app on your Xbox/Playstation. Adblockers weren't available on either without rooting Anrdoid using a proxy with your console.

3. It allows you to access Google Music and stream tens of thousands of songs to all your devices. Also while compensating content creators (though the compensation level of streaming is quite low).

That's the equivalent of "Why pay for TV when you have BitTorrent?"
