I received an article last night about a new YouTube feature coming up soon (well, technically just an idea) of a monthly subscription service to watch videos ad-free.
Article: recode.net/2015/09/25/youtube-is-prepping-its-subscription-launch-two-services-one-price
In my opinion; I look at this "ideal service" both good and bad.
Good Aspect: this service would give back to YouTube partners. This service would help boost revenue, and encourage content creators to invest in their videos (equipment, lighting, editing software, etc.).
Bad Aspect: From a Viewer's point of view- Nobody would want to spend money on videos they can watch for free; especially ad-free videos. This would lower video view counts, plus encourage viewers to walk away from your channel. I want my viewers to continue watching my videos WITHOUT the obligation of paying a fee, and vice versa.
So as you can see, this new "YouTube idea" is a double edge sword. It can hurt but help at the same time. What do you think about this article or new "ideal" development?
FYI: I want to make it clear that this is service would be completely optional
