Paid YouTube Channels To Come - Is This The End Of Television?
A person who apparently does not wish to reveal his true identity has come forward to say that now some channels on YouTube are about to become paid. In the few weeks to come, we will be seeing certain channels getting paid subscription service. According to The Financial Times, the viewers would be charged as little as $1.99 a month. Though the internet is raft with speculations in and around the nature of reactions this would garner to YouTube, the company behind has said it has no such announcements to make. Well, at the same time, YouTube hasn't even ignored the fact that it is in-fact building a "subscription platform" that provides its partners with a way to generate revenue beyond the ADs and video rentals.
We are not yet sure if these paid YouTube videos wil contain advertising or not, so we are keeping our fingers crossed. Because come what may, most of us would love to get rid of the initial 30 seconds of ADs that make us all impatient and irritable.
It is indeed evident that YouTube has evolved a lot since its initial user-generated content model. Now, we have channels from the best in the industry, who create professional videos, do product promotions and even telecast major TV shows. Does that ring a bell? Now, the companies will be able to generate revenues out of old-yet-gold TV series, shows and films. The trend is definitely changing. The media company's - DreamWorks Animation recent acquisition of the Awesomeness TV, a “teen-focused” YouTube network speaks a lot about it.
This all just goes to say that services like Netflix, the streaming service or Hulu that already have millions of faithful subscribers, are sure to face a fierce competition in days to come. After all the statement has a lasting impression - If you're good at something, never do it for free.
