Great movies are coming to YouTube for free, from Rocky to Saved and Terminator

YouTube is becoming more and more like television: in fact, free movies are coming to the most famous video sharing platform, which will be interspersed with advertising, exactly as it happens on TV. Revealing this is the Gizmodo blog, one of the most followed in the world both in absolute terms and in its sector of reference, technology (it records over 70 million visitors per month). Gizmodo reports that a spokesperson for Google, the company that owns YouTube, said the platform will launch this new feature soon. It is not yet known how often the ads will be offered to the public, but it is to be expected that movies will be interrupted at regular intervals, as is already the case with videos.

The films, the Google spokesperson said, are being offered by the company’s partners, such as major Hollywood production companies.The names of some of the films that YouTube will make available, e.g., Rocky, Igor, Terminator, Saved, Hackers, have also been leaked. “Don’t expect anything exceptional,” declares Gizmondo’s Catie Keck, “but the selection, at least so far, offers a mix of blockbuster and cult films.” Another specialized site, Age Age, reports statements by Rohit Dhawan, YouTube’s director of product management, that free movies interspersed with commercials represent a nice opportunity for both users and advertisers.
