That's unfortunate because not all partners are able to agree to the new terms. Some of them have passed away. It saddens me to think that their videos will now be hidden because of a change in policy.
- kllrnohj 11y agoEither someone else now has authority over the estate such as to continue to be collecting a check from YouTube, or the channel is no longer a partner channel and just is automatically part of the new system. I don't think any channels will just go dark because the original owner passed away.
- Splendor 11y agoSo YouTube Red is an opt-out for creators? Not an opt-in?
- kllrnohj 11y agoYouTube Red is not a choice for creators. If you're a partner, you have to agree to the new terms or you're de-listed (videos go private). If you're not a partner, just a regular creator, then you're just part of YouTube Red. You don't get a choice.
- Splendor 11y agoOkay. That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
