Grrrllll bye!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Google Inc. plans to offer a paid subscriber version (meaning you pay) of YouTube which will allow viewers to see millions of videos without having to sit through ads.<\/p>\n<p>The revenue from the new feature will be shared with video creators. The service may debut by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By creating a new paid offering, we&#8217;ll generate a new source of revenue that will supplement your fast growing advertising service,&#8221; Google relayed in a letter to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While we can&#8217;t comment on ongoing discussions, giving fans more choice to enjoy the content they love and creators more opportunity to earn revenue are always amongst our top priorities,&#8221; Google&#8217;s YouTube said in a statement, without commenting on the timing of the service.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube is facing more competition for streaming videos. Netflix, which costs $8-$12 per month, has 57.4 million subscribers and features original content such as &#8220;House of Cards&#8221; and &#8220;The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ohsodj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/youtube_letter.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ohsodj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/youtube_letter.jpg?resize=630%2C700\" alt=\"youtube_letter\" width=\"630\" height=\"700\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ohsodj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/youtube_letter.jpg?w=921&amp;ssl=1 921w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ohsodj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/youtube_letter.jpg?resize=270%2C300&amp;ssl=1 270w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ohsodj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/youtube_letter.jpg?resize=768%2C854&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>First TIDAL, now YouTube is offering paid subscriptions.
