Google rumored to be launching paid YouTube channels soon

4.7
Well, we didn't think the day would come. But rumors have arised which state that Google are beginning to work with a small number of popular YouTube video channel operators on a pilot program which could result in paid subscriptions as early as this spring.

According to reports, Google plans to team up with YouTube partners like Machinima, Maker Studios and Fullscreen to offer up paid subscription tiers, as well as bringing in new content brands.

Google began offering YouTube feature videos which you could rent in 2010, but allowing channels to charge money to access their content could turn YouTube into a online alternative to a cable TV network, if enough people actually sign up for them.

iamhazardz Why does google always need money I am sure they have enough to please them


If you were them, would you rather make the same amount of money, or would you rather make more money?

Well I haven't seen any paid youtube channels lately, hopefully I don't see them soon. I don't think regular youtubers will be having paid subscriptions either, probably just TV networks and shows wanting to get on youtube...
