YouTube to charge for subscriptions

Most people use YouTube to watch game commentary, music videos and other random stuff. Some people though produce original content and are lucky enough to be a YouTube partner. This means that they get money from advertisements from the videos they upload. However, it was rumored earlier this week that some YouTubers might start charging you a small fee to subscribe to their video.

I wouldn't use YouTube as much to watch videos because it wouldn't be worth it and I think most people would just find a free alternative. 

As you can see above there is an image of some of the channels that you can now browse for a small charge. One thing about this image is that it is TV programs from your first 5 channels on TV and all of the first 5 channels have there own catch up TV and all you have to do is wait a couple of days for them to go onto the websites for no charge.

There is also a bit of confusion about the amount you'll have to pay and how long this payment will last a quote from the Daily Mail says "a single-channel subscription is expected to cost £1.28 ($1.99) a month" which sound reasonable.
