YouTube the streaming giant, issued the following statement: "While we don't comment on
rumor or speculation, there are some content creators that think they
would benefit from a subscription revenue stream in addition to ads, so
we're looking at that."
Now the rumor is, that Google is to launch a subscription music service of their own, with suggestions of going live later this year. It is believed that the service will be heavily linked with the Android mobile operating system, thus syncing with Google Play, where people can upload music to play anywhere. You know, something like "Spotify".
While the YouTube service is to be largely free, users can upgrade to unlock more features, such as ad-free access, for instance. And regarding the scale of YouTube it's impossible not to see the record companies jumping onboard any new venture, since streaming represents a sizeable portion of online revenues at the major labels.
The only question is whether it should be ad-supported or subscription based.
So would you be interested to pay for some extra youtube features?
