That would be impossible to enforce well and be very manual, which google hates. I'd expect them to simply integrate patreon like functionality into youtube it

I'd expect them to simply integrate patreon like functionality into youtube itself. They have most of the infrastructure for such a system in place already and could add things like patreon exclusive content.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoI agree completely. Back when Adsense for Content was a thing they would ban your account if you had advertisers from other providers on your page (in addition to Google ads) as it was against the terms of service. Given Google is trying harder and harder to make money on something other than search advertising this is what I expect to happen. I expect the Youtubers will find that Google will stop them from pitching products in their video or putting affiliate links in their description. They may also start cracking down on ads that roll in the video that aren't Google placed. Then I expect them to make it a violation of their ToS to receive third party compensation for your videos, and instead to use some Google supplied version (which they will 'tax' at some rate (probably 30% given the Apple precedent)). There was already rumblings of this in September of last year : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiWNSlHG-9Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiWNSlHG-9Y
