im really hoping it won't hurt smaller yters + that big yters won't do it because they already have enough money either way the exclusive content will be reuploaded somehow im just?? its a v bad idea + i assume not many ppl with buy into it
It will hurt them, though, guaranteed. The algorithms will prioritise the paid for content; smaller creators will be sidelined and it will be harder to find them. Ofc it’d be nice to think that bigger yters will go “oh we don’t need the money” but the only people who would have a dedicated enough audience to pay for the content are, in the vast majority of case, the bigger yters, so it won’t work. And anyway, not everyones that nice.
Also, it’s a general subscription service, not pay for the individual video. Therefore, the most money will go to the people with the most views i.e. the bigger yters. The “exclusive content” is just for “members”, not for people who have paid for that specific content. You don’t get to chose where the money goes, essentially.
Reuplading is a solution, but it’s not the right one, I’m sure you know that.
My one hope is that if you scroll down the #youtubered tag EVERYONE is shitting all over it. Hopefully they will backtrack like crazy.
