Popular video hosting is working on new ways to monetize the platform. Soon you will have to pay for one of the previously free options.
The changes will affect the ability to select the quality of the video. An image was posted on Reddit showing the familiar menu, in which another item appeared with the name 1080p Premium Enhanced bitrate. It is possible that soon you will have to purchase a premium subscription to play videos in Full HD format with increased frame rates. The updated menu is currently not visible to everyone, as the function is still being tested.
For US users, YouTube Premium is available for $12 per month. Its purchase makes it possible to disable ads, play videos in the background on mobile gadgets, download content for further offline viewing without third-party applications. Alphabet analysts estimate that YouTube Premium and YouTube Music subscriptions have over 80 million users worldwide.
