Articles from Ben: https://medium.com/@hankgreen/is-youtube-red-good-for-creators-f2debed02923#.tb8i5rd6q “At a fairly standard ad rate of $2 per thousand views this optimal, ad-viewing person will generate around 80 cents of revenue for YouTube creators per month. Another 70 cents, roughly, are going to YouTube.” “If you’re paying $10 per month to support creators, it would be way more advantageous for you to divide that up as a number of low-level Patreon pledges, or possibly just put it toward buying merch.” http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/21/9566973/youtube-red-ad-free-offline-paid-subscription-service http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/22/technology/youtube-introduces-youtube-red-a-subscription-service.html?_r=1 http://www.dailydot.com/esports/twitch-streaming-money-careers-destiny/ Twitch monetization: “Partners charge $5 monthly to allow for private chats, emoticons, and whatever else the streamer can come up with.” “Bonnell makes the majority of his money from his Twitch subscribers, and he says the split with Twitch is $3/$2.” Apple TV: new hardware? http://www.asymco.com/2015/10/26/does-apple-tv-deserve-to-exist/ Broadway HD - streaming broadway shows.
