Speaking of Youtube Red, the way they handle if you have multiple devices is just so amazingly bad.
I pay for YouTube Red so that I can play music videos on my tv all day without ads. But if I go to a video on my desktop it will stop the playing of the video on the TV as only 1 session can be had with youtube at once IF YOU PAY FOR RED. If I dropped red, and just used ad blockers I will still be available to have multiple video sessions at once.
Drives me up a while and im seriously considering dropping red.

This is good to know, an interesting contrast to YouTube TV advertising support for 6-ish account sharing out of the box.
Maybe it'd be worth paying for a separate account for the TV.

Not strictly US only, but very limited availability, yes. There were some rumors it'd launch in parts of Europe this year, but that hasn't happened.
I have the exact same gripe with facebook—their only viable method of supporting content is itself ruining the site. Both companies are just leaving money on the floor by committing entirely to a single (dying) revenue model.
This looks cool, but seems inherently untenable at actually getting the money to the content provider without the content provider working with this service.
