Num another article published here, was already trying to explain how social networks can raise funds to stay active. Youtube can be inserted in the same category and in recent years has been one of the most accessed sites in the world, thus giving a lot of profit for its creators, through advertising.
As if that were not enough, we are now studying the possibility of direct payments.
Services such as NetFlix (which still does not work in Angola) broadcast series, movies and other usual programs on traditional TV. These services charge a monthly fee to each subscriber. Many users prefer to join because they can have control of what they are going to watch, wherever they want and when they want.
Youtube people have been trying to do something similar for a long time, but TV companies and filmmakers question the format of monetization of the videos. If paid channels actually appear on the Youtube, these powers may join, since users will pay a fixed monthly fee that will be shared between the company that manages the channel and YouTube itself. Everyone goes out to win.
In Angola, where the credit card culture is still not well “advertised”, the difficulties would increase, many users would be forced to look for alternatives.
For now, they are rumors (from reliable sources, but rumors), what I advise now is to imagine What would life be like? online without Youtube?

But after all is it the whole youtube that will be paid or just a few channels? I'm confused 🙁
Not all channels will be paid ... But to see movies, series ... We will have paid channels.
There are alternatives to Youtube, such as: DailyMotion, Metacafe, Vimeo
The question is: which is better, faster, with more content ...?
Great truth…
Because of the slowness of the net, I can barely watch and when I am lucky enough to be able to watch a video on Youtube, my balance goes to life and I pay to see it only in the dream of 8 am on Saturdays or holidays.
