Not for all channels mind you, just for certain ones.
A new chapter in online video is about to begin. YouTube is prepping to launch paid subscriptions for individual channels on its video platform in its latest attempt to lure content producers, eyeballs, and advertiser dollars away from traditional TV, according to multiple people familiar with the plans.
I wonder how long it’ll take for people to capture the videos from said channels and put them on a site that doesn’t charge for subs. 😛
