YouTube Set to Introduce Paid Subscriptions This Spring

[Bjorn Against]

8. YouTube has to improve their streaming if they want people to pay

The YouTube video player is not very good, I frequently have to pause the video and wait for it to buffer because the video loads so slowly, the picture quality is usually not very good either. It is not my internet connection because I can consistently stream from Netflix and a number of other sites and get really high quality picture without any lag, but YouTube videos work fine sometimes and other times they take forever to load. If they improved their video and got some high quality original programming I may consider a subscription, but they need to improve their technology because other sites have much better video players than they do.
