YouTube with the approach that different content should have different payment models has decided to monetize its videos.
The top brass of YouTube gave strong indications that they are planning to roll out paid subscription plans for some of its channels. YouTube CEO Salar Kamangar hinted towards catering for the strong demand in those networks that have lesser audiences on cable.
For YouTube, this is just a pilot test to know how their audiences who have got accustomed to free videos will react on this decision. According to YouTube, paid subscriptions will attract content producers and advertisement revenue.
In the paid subscription plan, live concerts and content libraries will be covered, with the initial subscription will cost around $1 – $5 per month.
