Someone help me out here because I'm not getting it. Why does it matter if the creator is part of the subscription deal? If they're not, just don't pay them their cut of the revenue income?
1) Subscribers will view just as many videos; no bandwidth increase for Google there.
2) Subscribers still don't see ads
3) Creators on the subscription deal get traditional ad revenue for non-subscribers and a share of Red fees for subscribers
4) Creators NOT on the subscription deal still get ad revenue for non-subscribers, but completely forfeit any share of the Red fees for subscribers
Where is Google or the subscriber losing out in that scenario? It's only the creators who don't want part of that deal, as their ad impressions drop proportionately.
