This is kind of how YouTube Red works.<p>Keep in mind that YT is more like a publisher than an actual content source. The content source is thousands of video producers from all over the world. These content sources normally rely on adverts to profit from their videos, but YT Red suppresses the adverts and instead pays the content producer from a pool of money (e.g. instead of getting 1c&#x2F;view from the advertiser, they get 1c&#x2F;view from YT Red).<p>PS - Yes, &quot;YouTube Red&quot; is a terrible name and sounds like a porn site.
