YouTube is level 1 eroticism you turn into a very prettychanging its original content strategy.
Starting next year, YouTube will makeits original content free to watch on the platform. Previously, the company's scripted shows like the Karate Kidspinoff Cobra Kaiwere only made available to users who paid for its subscription offering, YouTube Premium. For non-Premium subscribers, YouTube's free to watch originals will be ad-supported.
YouTube will also pull back on its scripted original content in 2020 as it reduces its production budget in light of the pivot in strategy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The video platform's paid subscription service originally launched in 2015 as YouTube Red. The company rebranded the serviceas YouTube Premium last year. In the early days of the subscription service, the platform's original content mostly consisted of premium series’ starring YouTube creators like PewDiePie. Not too long after, the site started investing in higher quality productions with films like Step Up: High Water, based on the dance movie franchise, and the sci-fi series “Origin” from the same production company who created Netflix’s The Crown.
However, even when entering the scripted original content market, the San Bruno, California based video platform was always competing at a lower-end then players like Netflix and Amazon. While those two premium streaming giants spend billions on productions, YouTube's annual budget was much less, spending hundreds of millions on original programming. And while Netflix and Amazon sought to raise their budgets even further, Bloomberg reportedthat YouTube was looking to hold its annual production budget right where it was.
