Google acknowledged that it's considering a subscription service that would allow viewers to skip the ads that run before many YouTube videos.

Analysts say that such a move would dramatically change YouTube's revenue model, which largely relies on advertising to pay the bills.

There's no mention of how much a service would cost or if or when it would become available.
