Fstoppers reporting that YouTube may start charging users to watch videos in 4K

From Alex Cooke at FStoppers.

Already I have been annoyed by YouTube, a recent update on Apple TV, has my TV showing a lost connection at every commercial break, which means huge delays on every commercial break. I have seen speculation that it might be the addition of HDR to the Apple TV app, which means that the commercials are different than the stream, and causing the lost connection and pause at every commercial break.

And as they add more commercials in every video it gets more annoying. And now it looks like they are moving 4K to the paid tier as well.

I can honestly say that it just doesn’t reach the $12 a month that is costs for YouTube premium, but it might mean I watch less YouTube videos.
