I know, I just don't think the dual business model (one free and ad-driven, the other hidden behind a paywall) works to be honest. Do one or the other. Most of YouTube's content is easily accessible, short and very DIY (don't have to be much more than camera on a commentator). Being free and supported by ads is perfect for that type of content.

Youtube Red, by being paid access, has to compete with other paid access stuff like Netflix and Amazon Prime. PewDiePie vs. Game of Thrones quality here, it's hard to justify, even if you really love PDP.

YouTube would be much better if people paid for it, honestly. That would pressure content creators to actually make good content or else they'll lose the money (paid subscribers). I'm also tired of the counter-argument 'he owes you nothing' when I critisize a youtuber acting like a crybaby in front of a camera.

Generally YouTube content is so bad that I doubt many people would pay for it, as it is. With the paid subscription feature, there would probably be a huge boost in quality of the videos. That's what I'd really like to happen.

I think there's decent stuff already there, and they don't need money or the backing of larger production companies to produce content. YouTube's strength is that it's a very democratic platform, one guy like Totalbiscuit could compete for views with giants like IGN, and that one day TB will be replaced by someone else with just a mic and a gaming PC.

We don't know the full details of Youtube Red yet, once it's fully rolled out, would a content creator require invitation from YouTube themselves to host content behind the paywall, or could anyone do it? The former is quality control, but also means YouTube loses what made it great in the first place (it's democratic nature). The latter means both paid and unpaid accounts will have no difference in quality. I'm not crazy about either possibility.

No. If it's actually good, it would be on Netflix or Amazon Prime. YouTube stuff is best in short bursts.

But YouTube red is kind of supposed to be an easy way for youtubers to get their own show.
