TechCrunch: YouTube made its top video creators an offer they literally couldn’t refuse, or they’d have their content disappear. YouTube confirmed that any “partner” creator who earns a cut of ad revenue but doesn’t agree to sign its revenue share deal for its new YouTube Red $9.99 ad-free subscription will have their videos hidden from public view on both the ad-supported and ad-free tiers. It’s a tough pill to swallow that makes YouTube look like a bully.
