This announcement just confuses things. Is it just to warn edtech companies that Google is muscling its way in?
The business model is unclear. There are no ads, so any income comes from more direct revenue sharing or user fees? If the teaching site embeds the video, what does google get?
The technical model is unclear. This is only to watch embedded in a frame on the creator site, and not on youtube? Yet, google wants to control the community tab and do quizzes? It sounds like Google wants to own the entire interaction.
It's unclear how or when to get started, and who this is relevant for. Who is qualified? Who do you contact?
It violates the first rule of youtube: say it in seconds.
And it's written as if the author/director is himself a creator, complete with personal anecdote about his kids. Must we present ourselves as such even for business communications?
I suspect my expectations of google announcements are dated.
