Let's Debunk Seven Myths About YouTube Red, YouTube's New Subscription Service

On October 21st, YouTube announced YouTube Red , a premium subscription service that offers ad-free viewing, offline playback, and access to an upcoming library of original programming created by members of the YouTube community.  The basic prices are even the same; YouTube Red and Netflix's most popular plan both cost $9.99. YouTube Red, on the other hand, won ‘t help you replace your cable subscription in any way, because YouTube doesn't have the licenses for TV shows from major networks or movies from major studios-nor does it seem interested in acquiring them. Instead, the YouTube Red original content will come from the online video industry's creative community, so it's more accurate to think of the new service as a way for YouTube to upsell its most dedicated users by promising them an exclusive content tier. If Netflix only produced original content, perhaps YouTube Red could be thought of as a competitor. At this point, most people seem to understand that YouTube Red will not replace the video site's ad-supported offering, but there have still been some misleading headlines The Christian Science Monitor termed the new service a pivot, which implies that YouTube will move away from the ad model that has become its bread-and-butter. If YouTube ever moved away from its ad-supported model, it would lose millions of users in the process. We'll spend more time delving into the financial side of YouTube Red in an upcoming post, but the bottom line is that the service's economics look good for creators. In that worst-case scenario, none of their current viewers will sign up for YouTube Red, and as a result, advertising rates will stay exactly the same. To translate this out of business speak, we turn to Hank Green , who posted a recent video discussing YouTube Red. He considers a hypothetical YouTube super-user who watches two hours of video on the site each day. Give the current state of YouTube ad rates , that user will only generate about two or three dollars in revenue each month. And since Kyncl has stated YouTube is sharing the vast majority” of its subscription revenue with creators, YouTube Red has the potential to make creators a lot more money than they could ever make off ads. After all, the creators who will release original programs on YouTube Red all come from the site's upper echelon. But Green talked about this issue, too, and he suggests YouTube Red might actually be more beneficial for the minnows of the YouTube ecosystem. The reasoning, as he puts it, is that smaller channels could have a larger percentage of dedicated fans who will be willing to pay for the new service, and as we've already established, more viewers who are YouTube Red subscribers = more revenue for creators. Subscription revenue from YouTube Red will be divvied up based on watch time for individual channels, so it is possible for everyone to benefit, so long as they can get eyeballs on their videos. This is a myth with some truth to it, since many channels run by ESPN have already been turned private thanks to rights issues stemming from the launch of YouTube Red Don't expect many other channels to go dark, though. In 2013, the last time YouTube tried to launch a paid subscription service , the results were lackluster That effort, however, was mostly based around traditional media companies, while this one is more focused on the homegrown YouTube community. Online video stars have displayed their ability to drive a tremendous amount of revenue based around premium content; take, for example, the success of films like Camp Takota and Expelled , which used the appeal of digital star power to generate strong returns. The stars aligned with YouTube Red have enough influence to drive thousands of subscriptions, and that can't be said for most of the channel owners YouTube tried to sell in 2013.

YouTube Music's dedicated app is built off of all the learnings Google gained from YouTube Music Key. Its design is centered around playing music fast, easy discovery, the ability to both watch or just listen and giving viewers as much music as possible - not just official versions, but also live music, remixes, content created by the huge variety of YouTube creators out there and more. There's a slider that you can adjust to filter exactly how big of a net YouTube Music should cast when looking for different content. There's also the now-standard automatic music stations based on particular songs or things you've listened to in the past. If you're already a Google Play Music subscribers, you'll also get a subscription to YouTube Red. 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. YouTube said this was because they didn't want someone to subscribe to YouTube Red and suddenly discover that some videos aren't available. Google Play Music is a full-fledged subscription music service comparable to Spotify and its competitors that all cost $9.99 a month, but when you add in all the other features that come with a YouTube Red subscription, it's a pretty good value.

The fact that YouTube Music and Google Play Music both exist is a touch confusing, especially since you can use them both for free, but they both add a bunch of features if you subscribe to YouTube Red. Just as the social network broke out Messenger into its own so it could optimize the experience, YouTube now has dedicated apps for its three most popular verticals: kids, gaming, and music. You can use the app like a standard music service, searching for artists and playing individual songs or albums. But the service is also optimized to present a vast collection of additional options — from live concert footage to karaoke tracks with embedded lyrics to instructional videos on how to play that bass line — which don't exist on any other music streaming service. When you're on an artist page, Rihanna for example, you can browse through all her available albums and singles, just as you would on Spotify or Apple Music. You can listen to a full album, and it will play the video when one exists, and use cover art as a placeholder when one does not. If you subscribe to YouTube Red, you can play this music in the background, and choose to play it audio only if you want to save your battery and limit data consumption. YouTube Music has a neat feature here, familiar to users of Rdio, that lets you adjust the variety. I've been using YouTube Red for a couple weeks and definitely feel it's worth the $10 a month. The one feature I really find lacking in Music is the ability to make playlists, but I know that when it comes to music services I'm hungry for power features that don't necessarily appeal to the masses, and the goal here is to capture that massive audience which is already using YouTube as its everyday music service. With the launch of the dedicated music app, YouTube has fundamentally changed the market for streaming music. Now you can pay $10 a month and get the world's biggest video library, ad free and offline, a well-built streaming music service with that stock catalog music, and a hybrid music video experience that is unlike anything else out there. Though TechCrunch can now confirm that parent company Disney does have a deal with YouTube Red, ESPN itself doesn't have permission to distribute its videos through a subscription video service like YouTube Red due to other contracts in has in place - including those with various distribution partners. And because YouTube creators have to sign YouTube Red's subscription deal or see their videos pulled from YouTube , much of ESPN's content across a number of its channels is now gone in the US. The change to ESPN's YouTube channel was initially spotted by Deadspin , which found that most of ESPN's channels were affected, including its main channel as well as other popular channels like Grantland , First Take , and the NBA on ESPN , for example. As Variety notes, the most recent video on ESPN's main channel is from January 2012, as the majority of ESPN's more current content is now gone. It's unclear if any of ESPN's pulled content will ever return to YouTube in the US. ESPN provided a statement, saying ESPN is not currently part of the Red service. Content previously available on the free YouTube service will be available across ESPN digital properties.” At least that last part is good news for sports fans. According to a YouTube spokesperson, Disney did sign the YouTube Red agreement, but ESPN's rights and legal issues preclude being part of YouTube Red at launch. So essentially, because ESPN can't legally have some of its content in subscription services in the US, it won't be on Red, and therefore has to take down its own videos in from the ad-supported version of YouTube in the US, though some of its content remains visible in other parts of the world. When YouTube was asked earlier this week about its terms related to YouTube Red, and specifically, what would happen if a partnered content creator didn't agree to participate in the new subscription service, the company downplayed the potential impact, noting that nearly all of its community accepted the new agreement. But YouTube saying creators of 99% of its watched content signed the Red deal is a hollow position because creators were coerced into the deal with devastating repercussions if they refused. It's understandable why YouTube wanted to launch a subscription service after watching the success of Netflix and Spotify. Ad revenue per user is relatively small, and both YouTube and creators can earn more per user if they're $9.99 a month paid subscribers. And YouTube deserves credit for not cutting better deals for big media companies than small independent creators. Still, its argument that the deal is beneficial to most and that YouTube simply couldn't fathom having any content missing from its subscription service doesn't justify it forcing creators to sign the Red deal or have their videos removed. Certain creators might have other deals in place, intentions to monetize their videos differently, or qualms with the 55% payout that make them not want to sign on to Red. Penalizing them so harshly by removing their content from the top online video platform still seems like bullying. Without even thinking about it, I've long been using YouTube to discover and bookmark music. It occurred to me somewhere between this Hot Chip remix (available on Play and YouTube) and Dubbledge 's not-for-purchase Lips 2 da Floor bootleg - YouTube Music Key is the streaming service for people who don't like streaming services. I hinted earlier that the mainstream music services are beginning to include more and more independent music. Still don't have, or likely ever will have, is the uploader/community support to truly keep up. Those services are never likely to have that bootleg recording of The Stone Roses at Spike Island , or the White Label rave classic New Science EP by D.S.K.F , or that user-uploaded DJ mix YouTube does. It's arguable that these videos are just on YouTube anyway, and not part of Music Key per se. Except that they can be downloaded for offline listening, and played in the background on your phone - services only Music Key customers can enjoy. I noticed several non-music videos that incorrectly had some of the Music Key premium features. For example, this (unofficial) Mark Ronson track and this martial arts video from the same uploader show up as being available for offline listening - because both contain a music track, just in different contexts. YouTube tells me that part of the goal of the beta period is to iron out kinks like this. Data from partners, and the invited music fans will give feedback as to what is and isn't a music video. That's a distinct possibility given that YouTube also advises me that these channels/copyright owners will need to sign a new agreement to have all features from the music service enabled (so if they don't, that music might no longer be available with the premium features). Both artist's music, and live performances are available without adverts - just like your own music collection. The bottom line is simple: with the forces of YouTube and Play combined, Google now has the most complete music offering on planet earth. But, there's also the obvious fact that all of this YouTube music is available to anyone, for free, right now.

Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, but media corporations including CBS , the BBC , Vevo , Hulu , and other organizations offer some of their material via YouTube, as part of the YouTube partnership program. YouTube has a set of community guidelines aimed to reduce abuse of the site's features. As a result, most videos containing copyrighted music have been blocked in Germany since 2009. Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) and the Center for Digital Democracy (CDD) have filed new complaints with regulator the Federal Trade Commission, following objections lodged in April when YouTube Kids launched in the US. Their complaints note that both companies have promised not to market their products to children, and call for the FTC to investigate the 17 companies alongside YouTube. Far from being a safe place for kids to explore, YouTube Kids is awash with food and beverage marketing that you won't find on other media platforms for young children,” said CCFC's executive director Josh Golin. Chester told the Guardian that his organisation plans to ask European regulators - including those in the UK and Ireland, where YouTube Kids recently launched - to also investigate the app's relationships with advertisers. YouTube said We only show ads that are approved as family-friendly - for example, we don't show any food and beverage ads - and all ads undergo a rigorous review process for compliance with our policies.” However, that covers the pre-roll ads that YouTube itself shows between videos in the YouTube Kids app. TV ads uploaded to YouTube by brands like Coca-Cola and Oreos do not fall under this policy: as far as the app is concerned, they are videos rather than ads, and thus fall under - or judging by the latest complaint, fall between the cracks of - its algorithms filtering out videos that are inappropriate for children. The CCFC and CDD's complaint also highlights another grey area for YouTube Kids: videos from channels aimed at children where brands have paid for product placement or sponsored entire videos. It cites the example of a video published by the popular EvanTubeHD channel where its young stars - who have more than 2.2 million subscribers on YouTube - taste 12 varieties of Oreo biscuits while blindfolded, and try to guess their flavours. EvanTubeHD, like many of the most popular children's YouTube channels, regularly publishes unboxing” videos featuring toys and other products. The groups have also criticised YouTube for changes made to the YouTube Kids advertising policy this summer, removing a reference to partner-sold ads” - for example, product placement deals struck by children's channels - in its rules about advertising having to be pre-approved by YouTube before being shown in the app. YouTube said: YouTube Kids prohibits paid advertising for all food and beverage brands. We also ask YouTube creators to disclose if their videos contain paid product placement or incentivised endorsements and we exclude those videos from the YouTube Kids app. YouTube's move to offer paid content comes as the world's largest video website faces competition from streaming video service Netflix, which has garnered 69 million paying customers thanks to a number of popular original video series, and from social network Facebook, which is making a big push to promote videos inside its newsfeed. A YouTube Red membership is also good across Gmail, YouTube's Music app, and YouTube's Twitch competitor, YouTube Gaming, ensuring that you'll receive the same ad-free experience across all platforms. YouTube Red, Google's $10 per month ad-free subscription tier, has finally arrived. And when you look at the pure volume of content and consumer demand, it's easy to see that Red is justifiably the sensible next step in the video service's evolution. In addition to its new premium features , Red will offer premium content, created specifically for the platform and available only through its service. Google-owned YouTube already informed the market where it stands earlier in the year. More specifically, it happened when YouTube made moves against brand-sponsored videos , requiring creators and MCNs to work Google's sales team for deals. At an initial glance, the premium features of YouTube Red are enough to sway a portion of the population over to the subscription-based model. With all of the new features YouTube Red is offering, it's definitely worth a shot, just don't be disappointed when ad-free” turns out to be pre-roll ad free” and a lot of branded content. YouTube warns parents that this feature is not 100 percent foolproof, and some objectionable content could seep through its filters. If you want an extra layer of security, you can install third-party filtering tools like Safe Eyes from McAfee or Net Nanny These services cost money, but they filter all the websites that your children visit, not just YouTube. Parents looking for a house-wide filtering solution that works with all devices should look at OpenDNS and its parental control service OpenDNS routes all your internet traffic through its server and filters that traffic for adult content, social networking sites, video sharing sites and more. A growing number of kids are watching videos using an iPad, an iPhone or an iPod touch, and as expected, most of the parental controls you use on the desktop don't extend to mobile. You can turn on YouTube Safe Search in mobile Safari or in the YouTube app to prevent access to provocative content, but I would rather have precise control over the videos that my kids watch on iOS. You can choose to install an app like iTubeList (iOS Universal, free with in-app purchase to disable ads), which plays only YouTube playlists. A similar app is KidSafe Tube (iOS Universal, $2.99), which filters YouTube content and allows you to add single videos, playlists, YouTube channels or search results to a blocked content list. An alternative to a dedicated YouTube app is a kid-safe browser like Ranger Browser or Maxthon browser These apps monitor all web traffic, not just YouTube and have additional features that allow parents to monitor their children's web usage. No, the real problem you'll find with apps like this has more to do with the availability of certain music on YouTube. Some, like Bob Marley, has been covered so often (and so badly) that it won't make for a great experience unless you are dedicated to curating your music list. One last thing: You can play YouTube in the background, but you can't do it from the app. You can make playlists, repeat, shuffle, most everything you can do with any music player. The developer of Musi tells me that he pulls the lowest quality video from YouTube while pulling the best audio from it in the background. No, not every video is accounted for, but most of them are, and the official music videos are definitely being paid for in accordance with licensing terms. The 2 boys on the right in that video would have been better served by a lesson teaching them how to overcome their ADHD rather than participating in this brainwashing session. Hillary previously set the stage for this development with her ghost-written tome, It Takes a Village... Her 1996 book posits the collectivist thesis that parents today are incapable of rearing children on their own and society must get involved if kids are to learn and prosper in their communities and in the world.

The Partner program includes participation in YouTube's Music Key beta This subscription service launched in beta form in November, and it provides ad-free playback, Spotify-like playlists, offline and background music options, and access to the full Google Play music library. The more musicians and artists that use YouTube to promote their work, the better that is for YouTube's future plans. Music Key needs musicians to function as promised, and YouTube for Artists is similar to analytics services offered by Spotify, for example. YouTube already extends this type of support structure to video bloggers and personalities, and it looks like music is the next big bet. If YouTube has over 3 billion views a day, imagine how many videos are uploaded to channels. People go on YouTube to forage for videos of all different areas of entertainment and music is only one of them. Soundcloud however has one purpose, and that's to get your music heard and for you to hear other people's music.

A couple of years ago, after moving to Los Angeles, I made the transition from freelance writing to creating online video. And yet, despite this success, we're just barely scraping by. Allison and I make money from ads that play before our videos, freelance writing and acting gigs, and brand deals on YouTube and Instagram. Our channel exists in that YouTube no-man's-land: Brands think we're too small to sponsor, but fans think we're too big for donations. Popular YouTube musician Meghan Tonjes said she performed on Vidcon's MainStage this year to screaming, crying fans without knowing whether she'd be able to afford groceries. Although she has a degree in digital media, part-time social media gigs are hard to come by because the workforce is overrun by every 12-year-old with Facebook.” Her vlog and music channels, which have amassed around 300,000 subscribers, take up more than enough hours to be her full-time job. And like many other areas of the economy, YouTube has a basic supply and demand problem. The difference, Beggs said, is that YouTube is more accessible because there's no admissions committee.” The technical term for this is the Dunning Kruger effect, where unskilled individuals believe themselves to be more adept than they are. It's not surprising that the failure rate on YouTube would be higher because people aren't good judges of their own abilities,” Beggs said. YouTuber Anna Akana, fed up with comments calling her a sellout,” posted a video in June explaining how without brand deals, YouTubers can't survive. Blaque, however, views YouTube as a platform for other opportunities, like speaking about trans issues all over the country, illustrating original merch, and making videos for sites like and Everyday Feminism. Dear Fat People” made so much money that Arbour posted a Snapchat counting 50 dollar bills…but she also lost some of her branded deals and got blacklisted by the tight-knit YouTube community.

Basically, YouTube wants all video creators who make money on their videos (like ESPN) to be a part of YouTube Red. Those who cannot agree to terms with YouTube will see their videos made private in the U.S.—unviewable to almost everybody using YouTube. Of ESPN's 13 YouTube featured” channels , two of them ( Nacion ESPN and X Games ) are still in operation, while the other 11 are not. It's unclear why only some channels are up and others aren't, and whether it was YouTube or ESPN that made them private, but you can expect to see all of ESPN's YouTube channels go private until ESPN becomes a part of YouTube Red, which might take awhile. According to a YouTube spokesperson, ESPN's parent company Disney has signed an agreement to be a part of the new subscription service, but ESPN is not currently included in that due to rights and legal issues. This post has been updated to reflect information given by a YouTube spokesperson after publication. It is important to be clear here that anyone can learn how to make money off YouTube. You just need to make a short video promoting your website or its products and upload it on YouTube. You are then allowed to include a description to that video in which you can include a link to your website.

YouTube marketing is a way to merge the advantages of TV advertising and education with the interactivity of the Internet. This innovative video marketing platform connects and catches potential and existing customers.

YouTube marketing is a proven and effective form of marketing for businesses of all sizes, from a single person to enormous corporations. The problem is that YouTube freezes up very often and sometimes it hangs for seconds and sometimes buffering for long intervals. YouTube freezing problem is in almost all browsers but it regularly occurs when you are using Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Many people of all different ages are making their own videos and sharing them on YouTube. You can worry about your content instead, since YouTube offers one of the easiest processes of upload you can find on the Internet. You'll have to get a standard video recording device, like a camcorder or a webcam. You can make pretty much any kind of video you like, as long as you adhere to the terms and standards. Warn potential viewers if you're going to put any kind of foul language, graphic material, or other possibly objectionable content in. You can put this warning in your YouTube video's title. YouTube currently limits your uploaded video to a length of no more than ten minutes. Open your video on the computer with one of these programs, and you can edit and save it. These webmasters are the same people whose videos on YouTube receive millions of views and dozens, even hundreds of favorite ratings and comments - the very fuel that drives their videos onto the front page of YouTube. Unless you are one of those YouTube gurus, I would bet my last dollar that you would be nowhere near the front page of YouTube. For communicators with deep enough pockets, video has been a much loved channel since the mid 1990s.
