Do you want to watch YouTube videos without ads? If so, your
hope will come true! The owner of Youtube, Google has just announced that they
will soon impose a new service that makes you freely enjoy the videos without
ads. But there is condition you have to do: you must be willing to spend some
money every month.
In a notification via electronic mail, YouTube explains
their plan to offer a new option to the visitors in the form of paid service
that will give access to the videos without ads. YouTupe also requires all the
YouTube partners to approve the new terms in the Creator Studio Dashboard which
will be applied on June 15, 2015.
Google's intention to switch to a paid system has actually
been seen since last November when introducing a subscription program of music
called Music Key for certain circles. Google has spent a lot of money to pay
for talents and creative producers to produce original videos and now
successfully earns 1 billion visits.
Not much different with this new program, YouTube will offer
video without advert with monthly fee but with a wider range of audience. 55%
of revenue from the subscription fee will be given to the owners of the videos
as already mentioned in their notification email.
If this plan goes smoothly without a hitch, Google
automatically will compete with similar services such as Netflix, Hulu and HBO
Now. But with the number of visits and the users' potentials, it seems that
Google doesn't have any worries if they have to compete in this segment.
Meanwhile, if referring to the Key Music service which is
priced at $ 7.99 from the normal price of $ 9.99 including offline access, most
likely the YouTube subscription price will be offered in the same price range.
