O YouTube anunciou uma mudança de planejamento em seu conteúdo do YouTube Originals: antes disponíveis apenas para assinantes do YouTube Premium, os vídeos agora serão disponibilizados para todos os usuários da plataforma.
"Pensando em 2019, nós faremos com que todos os nossos YouTube Originals sejam apoiados por propagandas, para corresponder à crescente demanda de uma fanbase mais global", disse um representante da plataforma em declaração ao Hollywood Reporter.
"A próxima fase da nossa estratégia de originais irá expandir a audiência para criadores do YouTube Originals, e providenciar aos anunciantes o incrível que conteúdo que chega à comunidade do YouTube", ele finaliza.
Apesar de ainda não ter emplacado um grande sucesso com seus conteúdos originais, a plataforma de vídeos da Google já possui uma biblioteca considerável: Cobra Kai, série de comédia que se passa 34 anos após os eventos de Karate Kid é um dos principais expoentes, conseguindo avaliação de 100% no Rotten Tomatoes.
O YouTube nunca chegou a revelar quantos assinantes o YouTube Premium conquistou; no Brasil, o serviço custa R$ 20,90 por mês e inclui uma experiência sem anúncios e com modo offline, além do acesso ao YouTube Music Premium.
As we look to 2019, we will begin making all of our YouTube Originals ad-supported to meet the growing demand of a more global fanbase,” a YouTube rep said in a statement. “This next phase of our originals strategy will expand the audience of our YouTube Original creators, and provide advertisers with incredible content that reaches the YouTube generation.”
YouTube’s originals have been a key value proposition of YouTube Premium, priced at $11.99 per month, which also offers ad-free and offline viewing. This year, according to the video platform, YouTube expanded the YouTube Premium service — initially launched in the U.S. as YouTube Red — to 29 countries and premiered more than 50 shows.

YouTube’s original productions have included “Cobra Kai,” an offshoot of the “Karate Kid” movies; sci-fi series “Origin”; sitcom “Foursome”; “Escape the Night” with Joey Graceffa; and “The Thinning” dystopian films starring Logan Paul and Peyton List.
In 2015, YouTube launched its initial slate of original series and movies, which included the “Scare PewDiePie” reality-adventure series and Rooster Teeth’s “Lazer Team” sci-fi action-comedy — available only to subscribers.
