about youtube red
people already use youtube for music which is technically illegal so youtube just wants to make a legally legit way of sharing music which is one feature. Having youtube red means you have google music automatically. Having google music means you automatically have youtube red.
Yes people already use adblock to avoid ads but that in itself makes youtube lose money so youtube is making a way to avoid ads without losing money. They are a company and are looking to make money which isn’t inherently bad. Companies go out of business without money.
you can download videos to your hard drive. ‘nuff said.
Exclusive content. Content creators can make exclusive youtube red content. It’s going to be BONUS content. Like an exclusive series and such. You don’t see people complaining about dare devil being netflix exclusive while agents of shield is on TV.
CONTENT CREATORS WILL GET 55% OF THE MONEY THAT PEOPLE PAY FOR YOUTUBE RED. THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE 55% WILL BE THE SAME AS THE DISTRIBUTION OF ADVERTISEMENT REVENUE OF VANILLA YOUTUBE WHICH IS ALSO 55%

It would be unfair to the people with millions of subscribers for them to lose their money to people with only a dozen of subscribers. Basically the more people like your stuff, the more money you will get which is how it should be.
Just a reminder that content creators don’t force people to subscribe and buy their merchindise
and if enough people have monthly subsciptions and buy their merch that a content creator can do something like buy a $4.5 million home, they have every right to do so. It isn’t problematic for someone to use their main source of income to buy luxurious living arrangements or for them to have a happy life because of their subscribers. If anything, it’s a thing to be happy about. the subscribers, every single one of them, made that possible. People who subscribe and buy merch do so of their own money and free will. Content creators aren’t stealing from their fanbase by spending the money they earn. people who give money to content creators do so to help support them. Don’t get mad at someone for having a large enough fanbase to live comfortably.
