Posted May 10, 2013 This would only work for TV networks that want to move their content to Youtube for the sake of convenience. If any of the Youtubers I'm currently subscribed to decided to use paid subscription, well let's just say they're losing not just me as a sub, they'll probably also lose at least 80% if not more of their subs.

Posted May 10, 2013 Only channel I recognize is The Young Turks and they seem to just be offering extra content that isn't on their main channel and charging $5 a month. Nothing premium just extra takes and stupid clips. Seems like a bad idea of per channel paid subscription. But Treehouse is only $4 so that's a major deal.

Posted May 10, 2013 I don't like that idea at all. :/ Isn't Hulu and Netflix it's own thing for a reason?

Posted May 10, 2013 all of these arn't available in my country (New Zealand) so that's interesting, I couldn't pay for one if I wanted it.

Posted May 10, 2013 This: https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/332728053270708225 Glad to hear it :) Personally I like the idea though, it will obviously only work for certain types of content, and may allow smaller production companies to get out there and earn some money on things like documentaries etc. If this does take off I would really like to see their data rate limit raised, I forget what it is at the moment, but it's far too low for paid content.

Posted May 10, 2013 I don't see this ever working for youtubers, maybe not even for ota network tv channels like ABC and the rest, but it could possibly work for premium networks like HBO and others.

Posted May 10, 2013 I see this only working for things like Netflix' House of Cards style things. you can buy to watch a series or something along those lines, or to have free access to a certain channels databases. But as for something like Tech Tips ever being Paid? would never work. I love you Linus (platonicaly of course) but I do NOT have the chase to shell out to watch you unbox and review things I can't already afford. About the only thing I would consider paying for is the live stream, but not much and even then I would have serious SERIOUS reservations about it.

Posted May 10, 2013 I'm in Taiwan and these paid channels are not available in my region just yet. So I think there is nothing I can comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 10, 2013 This musician named Jack Conte opened a site called Patreon.com the other day, and it seems like a much better alternative to this Youtube thing.The site basically works like Kickstarter, but instead of funding a big project, you fund continues content creation, by signing up to pay per video/song/etc automatically.. You can choose how much you wanna give yourself. Anything from 1 buck and up. You can even set a monthly limit on these payments to avoid breaking your budget.Like Kickstarter, a few advantages comes along with paying. You'll get things like tutorials, secret videos, private Skype calls and so on.I'm very excited about this new type of content payment. What do you guys think of this compared to youtube payments? Just as bad? Better? Viable option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 10, 2013 How much does the subscription costs? I think it may vary between channels. It's usually around the $3-$5 range, though. My Battlestation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
