Is YouTube Going to Start Charging Users to Watch Videos in 4K?

Up until now, YouTube users could enjoy all the video features of the site so long as they were willing to sit through ads. That might change soon, as some users have reported that 4K video resolution has been removed as an option unless they pay for the $12 per month Premium subscription. Multiple Reddit and YouTube users have recently reported that when they tried to select 4K video resolution when watching YouTube videos, the option was shown as a premium-only feature.
