I have a YouTube premium account, so even though I don't see advertisements creators still get paid. But I only get to see videos when I travel so I download videos over wi-fi ( in YouTube app itself) and watch them while my mobile data is on but signal is not constant therefore 90% of my YouTube screen time is on the downloaded videos. My question is - Do creators still get paid or not? (In my opinion they should cause I don't watch adds even when I am watching YouTube normal way (because of premium account). Do they get paid extra if I watch videos multiple times which I do? please answer I really am curious and thank you in advance I have been watching Linus media group videos for more than 5 years but this is ny first time visiting the forum I always hear about I am excited . Sorry for the length of post .

I jumped on youtube today and it says "get youtube red", but when i try to buy it, it is unable to receive my money? is my youtube bugged or is youtube red bugged??? Is anyone else getting this message in the uk? http://imgur.com/a/giFoP EDIT: youtube fixed it, I no longer get the message

Hey guys, Youtube Red did not officially launch in Germany but I have to see Mindfield by Vsauce and I would be delighted if the ads are gone and the creators get some more money. Is it possible to buy a Youtube Red subscription with something like tunnelbear and then use the side as usual without a VPN? Greetings Helge

When within the timeline of assemblage to sale should the drones be registered? Should certain drones be exempt from registration? Should the registration be done through the Internet? How will the registration be stored and who has access to the data?

From 6:04 to 21:03 she explains how your money would be split between YouTubers and Google. Now I'm not sure about what she says in the beginning about YouTube not paying partners for the first month of service, but it certainly doesn't look pleasant. What are your thoughts about this? If you only watched YouTube one day this month, this is how it would be split If you watched every day, best case scenario just these few videos, this is how it would be split
