YouTube has spent the last two years building up the profile of its online celebrities and shows with outdoor advertising, like these billboards for Video Game High School, these Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart YouTube billboards and these Tyler Oakley and Lilly Singh YouTube billboards.

Now the video streaming platform has launched YouTube Red, a new paid-for monthly subscription service allowing members-only to view original series and films from top YouTubers mostly ad free.

Some of the first offerings include A Trip to Unicorn Island, a documentary film following vlogger sensation Lilly Singh aka 'IISuperwomanII' on her world tour, a horror series starring the most popular YouTuber, 'PewDiePie', recreating classic video game situations in Scare PewDiePie, and Lazer Team from Rooster Teeth, a sci-fi comedy about four losers who discover some alien technology and have to protect the planet, which already received a limited theatrical release.
These YouTube Red original movie and series billboards, including the giant-sized A trip to Unicorn Island, were photographed in multiple locations along Sunset Boulevard on February 15, 2016, whilst the theatrical release billboard for Lazer Team was snapped above the Sunset Strip on January 13, 2016
What do you think? Are you ready to start paying to watch your favourite YouTubers instead of just putting up with countless ads, or is there already enough TV being produced at the moment to satisfy your entertainment cravings.

UPDATED: Here's also a better shot of another outdoor ad for YouTube Red's Scare PewDiePie series.
This additional billboard was snapped on March 8, 2016 further west along the Sunset Strip at Holloway Drive.

UPDATED: In addition here's another original movie billboard from YouTube Red, Dance Camp, starring Meg DeAngelis and Nadji Jeter and snapped along Sunset Boulevard on March 31, 2016.
Meanwhile Lilly Singh's giant Unicorn Island billboard was replaced with this super-sized ad creative for new original series, Prank Academy.
This new show is from the creators of YouTube channel PrankvsPrank, Jesse M. Wellens and Jeana Smith, and now they're ready to pull of the most killer pranks in this new hidden camera series.
This eye-catching Prank Academy billboard was snapped along the Sunset Strip on March 31, 2016.

UPDATED: Here's another original TV series billboard for YouTube Red photographed along the Sunset Strip on April 20, 2016. This Foursome is of the non sexual variety and features 'Andie Fixler' (Jenn McAllister) and her three best friends (hence the title), her big brother and her high school crush.

UPDATED: Here's another new YouTube Red show getting a big push along Sunset Boulevard, Bad Internet.
Not only does it get a giant-sized billboard on the side of Sunset Towers in West Hollywood but it also gets an additional standard landscape billboard directly in front of jot for maximum impact along the busy commuter route.
Photographed on May 26, 2016, these eye-catching billboards are for the new series from CollegeHumor, described as a parody of the Black Mirror TV anthology drama series which thematically examines the impact of technology on society in weird and wonderful ways.
