In response to "YouTube launching paid service. Not Hollywood movies and TV shows. Will you pay to see PewDiePie? -- (link)" by Mop

Nope. This sounds like a good idea for them but bad for the rest of us.

"The company has advised partners like top draw PewDiePie that their clips won’t be allowed to remain on the public, ad-supported YouTube if they don’t also sign up for the commercial-free subscription version. (Holdouts can keep videos hosted privately on YouTube, allowing them to become public once a deal is reached.)"
That doesn't sound good.

- As long as I won't be forced to pay to watch Glove & Boots or the Vlogbrothers then I won't be upset. - Krusty Jul 21, 09:45 1
  - You pay for YouTube through your clicks. These people are living comfortable because of you. You're not being selfish. -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 09:46
