Remember those rumors that YouTube was working on rolling out some paid subscription channels? According to Android Police, code in the recently updated YouTube app shows that Pay-To-View is in the works. It’s just a matter of when.

The code pretty much speaks for itself:

< string name="paid_channel_subscribe_message">You can only subscribe to this paid channel on your computer.< /string>

< string name="paid_channel_unsubscribe_message">You can only unsubscribe from this paid channel on your computer.< /string>

According to previous rumors, the subscriptions should be relatively cheap, $1 to $5 a month. Still, paying anything for something that was previously free can sting, but maybe the pay channels will really bring some high-quality content. We’ll have to wait and see, and the wait may not be long. [Android Police]
