I'm just gonna put it this way: If I'm browsing through Youtube and come across a video that wants me to pay before I can view it, I'm moving on to another video.
It's already a pain in the ass to find some of the more obscure music that I listen to so that I can link it to people, some of the songs don't even exist on Youtube anymore even though they were there a year or two ago. Having to pay a premium so I can watch some crappy three-minute footage or something? No offense, Youtube, but the content hosted there isn't generally on the level that I'd feel it worth being paid for. Maybe Tomska.
And you just know that the movie/television industry, music industry, and gaming industry are going to either try squashing it or buy into it and slap pay-walls on "official" channels.
