Is there such a thing as paid membership to YouTube channels so only paid subscribers can see certain videos behind the paywall?


EDIT: Doh. Why didn't I ask ChatGPT?

Yes, YouTube offers a feature called "Channel Memberships" that allows viewers to support a channel by paying a monthly fee. In return, members get access to various perks, including exclusive videos, live streams, badges, and emojis. These exclusive videos are behind a paywall and can only be viewed by paid members.

To enable Channel Memberships, the channel must meet specific eligibility requirements set by YouTube, such as having over 1,000 subscribers. Additionally, YouTube Partners can offer additional benefits through features like Super Chat and Super Stickers during live streams.

Here's how Channel Memberships work:

1. Join Button: Eligible channels have a "Join" button next to the "Subscribe" button on their YouTube page. Viewers can click this button to see the membership tiers and their associated perks.
2. Membership Tiers: Channels can offer different membership tiers at various price points, each providing different levels of access and perks.
3. Exclusive Content: Channels can create members-only content, including videos and live streams, which are only accessible to those who have joined the membership program.
4. Badges and Emojis: Members receive custom loyalty badges next to their names in comments and live chats, as well as access to exclusive emojis that can be used in live chats.

Channel Memberships provide a way for content creators to monetize their content while offering fans additional content and benefits for their support.

I was doing some research on this and it seems like a missed opportunity for YouTube.

I'd be happy to test out having videos on YouTube that only paid subscribers to my channel can watch.

I'm interested in hosting videos on YouTube behind a paywall because of my own viewing habits. I've been watching an hour of AI and Automation videos on YouTube each morning with a cup of tea in hand.

On the TV.

No way I'd sit watching an hour of videos at my desk on the computer screen.

TVs come with YouTube installed on them. Lots of people watch more YouTube than normal TV or Netflix, etc, and I only see it growing.

BUT...

I can't create membership tiers unless I've over 1,000 subs (which I have) and 4,000 watch hours in the last 12 months (which I don't have). These are the criteria to be part of the YouTube partner program to get a % of the ad revenue, but why should they be the criteria if I wanted to use YouTube to host videos for paid subs?

It seems dumb criteria, but I guess I know what I've got to do.
