This week YouTube will announce a plan to let some video makers charge a monthly subscription to their channels. There will be paid channels for children’s programming, entertainment, music and many other topic areas, according to people with knowledge of the plan. YouTube not to comment publicly yet. Some of the channels — there will be several dozen at the outset — will cost as little as $1.99 a month.
I don't know if this is a good idea or not. I really believe that the people who regularly post videos on to YouTube should get compensation for it (if not already) because of their dedication and ability to post videos often. But, then I also believe that YouTube has been an outlet for many people to use on a regular basis and a change this big could possibly negatively affect the usage of the site.
