That is interesting, I wonder how that will work for content producers on YT.
How will they split the money from the ad free subscriptions amongst the producers (haven't read the entire article yet if it is already in there).

As for everyone else making content on YouTube, the rumors of forced participation in the subscription service are true. YouTube executives confirmed that if you publish videos to YouTube and support them with advertising, you must also take part in the YouTube subscription service. If you don't, your videos will be marked private and thus no one will be able to find them. YouTube said this was because they didn't want someone to subscribe to YouTube Red and suddenly discover that some videos aren't available. The question of revenue payouts is certainly a big one, so time will tell how YouTube's creators fare financially under this new system.

Well...that seems like a bit of a slap in the face...
