Why doesn't Youtube follow the Netflix/Disney+ model? I'd gladly throw a few months of $$$ if I can watch some classic movies. I guess it's copyright?

- hnthrowaway0328 3y agoOK that's sad. They have so many movies.
- michaelt 3y agoAt one point, they produced a series of 'Youtube Original' content [1] available only to Youtube Red/Premium subscribers. It ran from 2016 to 2023, they tried celebs like Will Smith and youtubers like PewDiePie, a variety of episode lengths and formats, and even some content in different languages. They don't produce it any more; I suspect it was not a commercial success.
