I suspect that that would not result in sufficient revenue to offset the costs of hosting Blender's videos.

- CamperBob2 8y agoAnd that would be my problem because...? If they need to charge more, then they should charge more. YT Red is arguably too cheap.
- omnimus 8y agoBut then you are paywalling access to videos of non-profit organisation. Meaning 1. Blender will have to use different platform to make them accessible to everyone anyway. 2. Youtube/Google are still making money on otherwise free content. Don't get me wrong i think they should get money for hosting but they want much more than that. That is the reason why they don't have any hosting premium plans (like vimeo does). If they did Im sure Blender foundation would pay for hosting of their videos. Also lets not forget the overall highly positive impact these Blender videos have for the platform. They bring in people from embedded videos and people continue watching more videos (most likely monetized ones). When youtube hosts videos from blender or MIT they also can claim (as they love to do) how big educational impact they have...
