Any "partner" creator that doesn't agree to sign its revenue share deal for its new youtube red will have their videos hidden from the public on both ad-supported and ad-free tiers.

I'm one of them who can't agree.

What youtube is very unclear about (poor FAQ) is that how do you find out if you have earned 55% revenue according to the Youtube Partner Program Terms. It just tells me based on your watch time/views, doesn't really determine the equation.

Does this mean I gain $0.01 per week now?

Perhaps legal issues forced Disney's ESPN network to withdraw from youtube red. What was written on the two blogs was a bit over exaggerating; however, I had the same reaction when I was alerted about videos becoming hidden from the public.

Youtube red is a wait and see game.
