I agree. If it is their attempt at "Prime", they're going to have a much harder time of it than Amazon, since they already have so many different subscriptions and price points. It'll be interesting to see how they try to manage it.
Not only that, but they'll have to decide where the borders of the subscription are—is YouTube a separate entity, and thus should keep it's own subscription model? or is it too valuable and thus should be part of Google One? Either direction will have complexity issues, either in continuing to have too many different subscriptions, or in trying to capture value with too many orthogonal benefits in a single pricing system.
- woolvalley 8y agoAmazon has prime, and then some services have higher service levels that you pay extra for. Like amazon music has the 'prime' & full tiers. There is one for storage, another for books and probably a bunch of others I don't know about. I can easily see something similar happening with youtube red for example. Youtube free, Youtube 'one' & Youtube red.
