YouTube has announced that it will end a test that will require users to pay for watching 4K videos. Recently, the video service did an experiment. Now it has stopped.
End of trial period for 4K on YouTube
YouTube recently made headlines with a new experiment underway. Several user groups have been tested with the charge for watching videos in 4K. This is then done in the form of a YouTube Premium membership. For this you pay 11.99 euros per month in the Netherlands. This subscription form offers various benefits for the avid YouTube user, including ad-free viewing. Watching 4K content could therefore also be one of those perks.
The video service has now announced that the experiment has stopped and that any user can watch the content in 4K at no additional cost. The reason for the interruption of the test was not disclosed. It is not inconceivable that it has led to resistance from users. It is currently unclear whether YouTube will permanently keep 4K accessible for free or if it will return after all.
