YouTube news: crowdfunding and new opportunities for authors

To date, there are many videos and musical projects, the means for which are collected using crowdfunding on platforms such as, for example, Kickstarter . Among them there are both successful projects and disappointments: the campaign to raise funds for a full -length film encountered big problems already at the final stage of production.

Complaints about the creators of the film “Veronica Mars” rained down due to the difficulty of using viewing services, as they had their own specifics and worked poorly. It can be assumed that YouTube simply cannot arise such problems, since the service is a direct channel for the distribution of video content.

YouTube often invites new authors and creative people to use the service as a site for implementation: previously it was about grants and special working conditions. Earlier, YouTube has repeatedly tried to find ways of further development and get away from monetization only thanks to advertising.

After conducting surveys and research on YouTube, they decided to tell the world what their team of professionals is working on and what new functions will appear in the near future.

So, in the coming months the following updates will be introduced:

• a new separate mobile application that will allow the authors of the content to manage everything necessary at the moment when it is necessary;
• a function that will allow everyone to finance their favorite authors;
• A tool for creating subtitles in more than 60 languages.

YouTube urges users to share their ideas and thoughts about what they think about planned innovations in Google+ and Twitter .
