Welcome to youtube's new business model. Popular videos get a fee attached. This is only the beginning.

I saw the end when they started removing audio from random videos due to copyright. Anyone here remembers the glory days of youtube when the most viewed video was Evolution of Dance (back in like 2006)? :?

Actually she just appeared on that new Katy Perry video. She is like 13 so I believe she is probably having the time of her life. :)

Who's ever going to pay for YouTube? I sure as hell won't.

On a side note I'm glad I'll never hear that song again.

I can't even rent it in Canada. Not that I'm complaining, but the fact that you have to pay to view the video is stupid.

There's been an option for a while (by the person who posts the video), it's just rarely used.

Who would pay $3 to watch the video for 72 hours when you can just buy the song off of Itunes for 99 cents?

Of course lots of money, I understand that youtube has gotten bigger and bigger and that site management is not cheap either. That's why some things like Vevo among other channelss were necesary. But it's sad to see the site steering away from what it originally was, a good site where you could share user created content easily. Not saying that it isn't these days but not to the same degree as it was on it's first years.
