No, no se trata de una confusión de YouTube Keys, sino otro método de monetizar el servicio de vídeo streaming de Google.
En un rumor filtrado por mismos socios de Google, donde varios han recibido un email notificando que Google estará preparando tarifas de acceso pagado para que clientes y cibernautas no tengan que ver anuncios a través de vídeos que se quieran.
Sorpresivamente, los productores registrados no tendrán la opción de no participar del concepto, pero por su parte, se les ofrecerá inmediatamente una compensación por las pérdidas que no retirarse del servicio les provocaría y Google les pagará el 55% de las ganancias generadas con los vídeos que provocaron el tráfico de gente.
El email lee como sigue:
Dear YouTube Partners,
Your fans want choices. Not only do they want to watch what they want, whenever they want, anywhere, and on any device they choose, they want YouTube features built specifically with their needs in mind. Over the past several months, we’ve taken bold new steps to bring these experiences to life. Since inviting hundreds of thousands of fans into our YouTube Music Key Beta, we’ve seen tremendous engagement. And we’ve seen an equally enthusiastic response for our new YouTube Kids app, designed to give families a simpler and safer video-viewing experience— it’s already crossed 2 million installations in less than one month.
We’re excited to build on this momentum by taking another big step in favor of choice: offering fans an ads-free version of YouTube for a monthly fee. By creating a new paid offering, we’ll generate a new source of revenue that will supplement your fast growing advertising revenue.
So what’s next?
Launching a new paid offering will require us to update your terms through your Creator Studio Dashboard—a process that should feel familiar to anyone who went through a similar process three years ago when we began distributing and monetizing your content on mobile devices. Today, mobile represents over half of all watchtime and mobile revenue is up 200% in the last year. Just as with mobile, we’re confident this latest contract update will excite your fans and generate a previously untapped, additional source of revenue for you. Please look out for our notification, review it and let us know your thoughts.
It’s an exciting year for YouTube, as we push ourselves into uncharted territories. But we continue to be guided by a desire to deliver the choices fans want and the revenue you need. By working closely with you, we know it’ll be a successful journey.
The YouTube Team
De seguir todo como va, clientes de YouTube se les cobrará $10 mensuales si no quieres ver publicad por texto, HTML ni un vídeo publicitario antes que salga el vídeo que hayas escogido.
