YouTube is set to launch a paid subscription model for its specialist video channels as early as this week, according to a report.
The move, which has been in development for months, aims to help channels finance a wider range of content such as television shows and films, and will serve as another source of revenue, according to the Financial Times.
The service will include up to 50 YouTube channels, and subscriptions to each channel will start as low a $1.99 per month, the newspaper reported Sunday, citing anonymous sources.

Interesting concept. I have several youtube channels that I subscribe to that I enjoy watching however I'm not sure I would be willing to pay for them. I'm not sure which channels are going to be a pay to watch thing.
It will be good for the content developers to get some more revenue. I have no idea what kind of revenue they take in right now based on the ads but this might motivate others to create better channels with better content that I might want to pay for.
