Taken from another forum I go to.

Interesting article IMO. I didn't know YouTube was losing that much money but it does make a lot of sense.

The site obviously isn't just going to disappear with Google as its backer/owner because they're pulling in enough demographic data to then opt it out to other companies and theoretically make their money back. Which they're probably already doing behind the scenes to make up some of the cash difference. And personally, I've been using NoScript on Firefox for about 2 years now, so the ads that are out there in the first place I'm not even seeing.

Anyway the point of posting this was to inquire what types of sites you guys are willing to pay for, from a subscription/content perspective.

Everybody looks at the porn at least sometimes but I've never paid a penny for any of it. Ever. So have we all been spoiled these last 10 years of the internet or what? Are there any websites you guys frequent that you'd be willing to pay subscription costs for?
 
I pay for SuicideGirls. If I wasn't unemployed I'd probably pay for premium membership here. I like the site and money talks.

(SuicideGirls was already paid up for a year.)
 
I'd prolly pay for youtube...its like my bible yo...

i want a premium membership here cuz i wanna see wat the hell they be talkin about in that private section...

I WANNA KNOW DAMNIT!!!
 
i don't think i would pay for any site on the internet.

i mean some are super useful, some are just plain fun, but life was fine before the internet's rise in popularity (i'm old enough to remember it fairly well, sigh), and if everything suddenly cost something, i wouldn't miss it too bad. the main sites that are really useful from a knowledge standpoint are free by nature-- wikipedia, and university sites.

also, a few months ago my internet was cut off (yay unemployment) and, well, i got a lot of shit done! lol


then again, i might have a different opinion if i was really wealthy. or if google suddenly decided to charge.
