YouTube. The largest platform for sharing video clips has announced that it offers the opportunity to watch movies online for free for anyone who accesses the website and is eager to see movies that they cannot see in any other way. We are talking about long-length online movies that are offered free of charge by the YouTube company to all users who use the platform, but this gratuity also comes with the obligation to see the advertisements that are displayed for them.
YouTube. More than 100 online movies are already available on the platform in certain countries, and anyone can now watch movies like those in the series Rockyor Terminator, but others will be added in the future. Those at YouTube will also add more recent online movies, depending on the agreements they make with various production houses that accept to receive a part of the revenues generated by advertisements, instead of paying a subscription to see those movies.
YouTube. Many ONLINE MOVIES offered for FREE
YouTube. The online movies were added by the people from Google during the last month within the platform, and their number is constantly increasing, so that more and more people can see them. The online movies that YouTube displays can be seen for free, apparently, even without having an account registered on the platform, and all because they display advertisements, so there are no longer any restrictions regarding their playback, including on several types of devices.
Ad-supported video is a huge market. There's a lot of consumer traction and I expect all the major companies will jump in at some point. We saw this opportunity based on user demand, beyond just offering paid movies. Can we do ad-supported movies, free to the user? It also presents a nice opportunity for advertisers.
YouTube. This business model can be successful if there are enough people interested in watching movies online for free, and if the ads that are displayed really generate money for those who offer the content. At the moment it is impossible to say how successful YouTube will be with offering free online movies to users around the world, but the idea itself could give birth to other equally good ideas to offer free content to users.
