Quote:
A YouTube paid channel is a channel for which users pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee to watch its videos. As the channel owner, you define one or more offers that set the terms of a subscription. Only paying subscribers can view the channel content, except for specific videos you decide to make available to everyone for free.
Paid channels are not currently available to all content partners. To be eligible to create paid channels, you must own a free channel with at least 10,000 subscribers and reside in one of the supported locales.

If people are willing to pay to watch someone else talk about living their lives then they really need to take a step back and reevaluate themselves. Likewise for those who actually believe they should charge their fans to view their crappy 5 minute videos.
Nobody's gonna be breaking the most views in 24 hours record now.
