I wonder if ads will come back for the subscribers anyway, as happened with cable. Especially once advertisers start pointing out to google that the only people they actually want to advertise to are the subscribers.
- nugget 12y agoBingo. The people most likely to pay are by far also the most valuable user segment to advertisers. Sooner or later some ads will find their way back in.
- tomjen3 12y agoIf they did, why would they subscribe at all? Okay maybe they get special subscriber only videos, but if a channel wanted that Patreon already has that feature.
- slimsag 12y agoHulu comes to mind. I can't fathom why someone would pay for such a service, but I presume that they do.
- tempodox 12y agoMaybe people would subscribe so they could actually find what they're looking for. Good luck finding a specific movie or a series episode right now. It just doesn't work.
- higherpurpose 12y ago"We'll double the rates for your subscribers!" Yeah, that could happen.
- dennisgorelik 12y agoYouTube may introduce multiple premium plans: Less ads / bubble ads only ($5/mo). No ads ($10/mo). More expensive content, like new movies ($20/mo). Premium subscribes would see occasional ads anyway, when they are not authenticated under their premium YouTube account.
- jasonkostempski 12y agoI assume this deal has no affect on the sponsor ads creators already put directly in their videos.
- dageshi 12y agoI assume in that case subscribers will have no qualms using ad-blockers.
