Has anyone noticed that some shows on YouTube are no longer available for viewing?  I only recently discovered all the content on YouTube in the last couple of years and use it frequently.

 

Is YouTube going the way of subscription like other streamers?  TIA.  LM

You have the option of subscribing to the videos ..or not. They make money  by having you subscribe.

Nope!

That has always been so.  Some videos you now have to "pay" through a subscription to view.  Now there is "TV YouTube" which is new.  That is also a fee based subscription (if your cable company does not carry it.)  If you have Verizon FIOS, they have a YouTube widget.  All your videos are FREE!

You are welcome.  I never had to pay for any video I have watched. As long as you do not subscribe it is for free.
