[YouTube is to launch a paid-for service for
users who want to view videos without pre-roll advertising
and banners.]


["By creating a new paid offering, we'll generate a new source of revenue
that will supplement your fast-growing advertising revenue."
Some technology websites have speculated that the monthly fee
will be less than £10 each month, with 55% of the revenue
going to video creators and YouTube keeping the remainder.
The service is likely to be available sometime this year.]

so basically i have the same experience just by installing adblock + for free? This sounds stupid as ****

[Vanessa]

No thanks. Why pay for it when I can get it for free

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Jay.]

I don't think so

Hope they don't do what 4oD do and block adblock.. it would ruin it.

I expect that will block that

[Jamesy]

Give it time and they will probably go the same way as our on demand TV websites do. ITV Player and 4oD do not work with ad-block enabled. I bet YouTube will go down that route eventually. Surprised they haven't yet actually.

[Tom4784]

I don't think they'll block Adblocker, it risks alienating the audience and could potentially give rise to a viable rival website.

Nobody will pay.
