So YouTube is offering a free trial for YouTube Red (a service that removes ad’s from the site) during the BEST season for Ad Rev. YouTube is asking its creators to work for less during the time they make the most. I regret my previous post supporting Red. But every update they have made has made it worst for smaller channels. From making it that Red User revenue would go to channels they don’t even watch, to what you see now. This is a huge stab in the back for the content creators who populate content. 

If you want to support creators do not go Red, not at least til January. Animators and smaller channels usually make the biggest chuck of money during October-December due to  the holiday push for ad’s. In January the CPM drop for ads dramatically and this would have been a more appropriate time as it would not effect the creators as drastically. But to do it in the middle of the holiday rush is soul crushing.

If you care about the content creators please do not subscribe to the YouTube Red during the free trial period. A lot of users, myself including were counting on the ad-rev for next year. 

This is really, really important for content creators on youtube.
