      I've not found stuff on YouTube that I would pay for. I don't mind seeing some ads but FailArmy and Honest Trailers are the main things that I watch that are not videos from my friends - which I am definitely not going to pay to see.

        What about a video of me singing Taylor Swift in my underwear?

          Well I might pay for that, as long as it isn't "Shake It Off".

                  I looked into this when it was first announced. It seemed like the vast majority of viewers thought this didn't really provide value to their content consumption. They will probably get a few subscribers but I really doubt most people will pay to watch early content. Maybe if it wasn't released anywhere else... but there is so much stuff on Youtube I doubt it would really matter if one content creator went this route.

                    So the MangoLassi Venture Capital arm has given is a unaminous thumbs down. I now expect Google to buy it for $10bn in 12 months time 🙂

                      Why would Google buy something from Youtube when it owns Youtube?

                        Maybe not Google... Microsoft though has been making some great investments of late....

                          Not a Youtube/Google company, it is a startup from a former Hulu exec.

                            Oh ok. I saw it was a former Hulu exec but missed it wasn't YouTube actually doing it.

                              Although it will be interesting to see how this goes. It is another attempt to properly monetize content distribution that resembles premium cable channels. I'm not sure how many creators would be willing to have another entity, on top of Google, take a cut from their already small ad-revenue stream.

                                Tech News 2Night talked about this yesterday. The host asked the guest story writer why would people want this since almost anything on Youtube can often be found in many other locations around the web.

                                The guest author said that Vessel content providers will provide content in Vessel days or weeks before other free sites (stated above), and new content that amounts to daily news style snips of events that millennials would rather watch than the whole event. The example given was a hockey game. Instead of having to watch a whole hockey game, it will be edited down to the 2-3 good goals, or maybe a 'great' save and a score.

                                Really? Millennials don't want to watch the game anymore... just give you the highlights?

                                AJ is that true? LOL Sorry bro, had to pick.

                                  I'd say this is probably an accurate statement for some people who just want to know what others are talking about on the facebooks the next day. Although I dislike the negative connotations that millenial now has/always had.

                                      Yep... So they are trying to act more like a broadcast TV station where they have different segments, entertainment, news, movies, etc...

                                        Not at all. I love watching a sports game, like basketball, football, or baseball from start to finish. I'm usually multi-tasking while I'm doing it, but I watch it start to finish.

                                          Well, look at it this way, Google bought youtube 10(+?) years ago and it still hasn't turned a profit

                                            That has to be changing now though... now that they have content that people subscribe to, etc.. with the pay the content creators model they have now...
