Charging Viewers to Use YouTube

During May 2013 many UK news outlets reported a new YouTube policy to begin charging for subscription services. 

In a Telegraph report, subscriptions services to "30 content creators, including children's programers Sesame Street and Muppet creator The Jim Henson Co." and other popular channels. 

Initial pricing for the subscriptions will start at 99 cents a month and could average $2.99 a month. This change would apply to 10 countries at the launch. 

Google's switch to subscriptions for channels should not come as a surprise. The company began overtly crossing the path into the corporate world when short commercials serviced on popular videos.
