YouTube VP says subscription channels 'incredibly important' – Firstpost

Firstpost  

While rumours of a subscription based model on YouTube are rife, none other than the Vice President of the video sharing website has added fuel to them. He also said that while it won’t be easy for video makers to get viewers to take out a credit card before watching a show, there will be a lot of experimentation and, “over time, a lot of people will figure it out.” YouTube’s mind is on the money However, in a bit of an anticlimactic move, Kyncl said that YouTube had “nothing to announce” as far as paid subscriptions go. YouTube’s parent company Google has been making waves by expressing its wish to introduce a music subscription model on a couple of its services. Tens of thousands of partners have created channels that have found and built businesses for passionate, engaged audiences…And today, we’re announcing a new milestone: YouTube now has more than a billion unique users every single month.” Showing just how seriously businesses take YouTube, the video hosting site wrote that every single brand listed in the Ad Age Top 100 list is running a campaign on YouTube.
