YouTube hasn't been a profitable venture for Google, so they are trying ways to monetize it. If they don't make a cent off YouTube, it's gone.

I can see this eventually becoming like Netflix
Considering it would only apply to copyrighted things that would be removed anyways, I don't see any problem with it. I'd think only well-known movie developers would even consider this because, for other uploaders, setting a price is basically a way to kill your viewers count.

This isn't news. It's already been in place for quite a while and the only content available to rent is entire goddamn movies. You guys are idiots.
