I voted that I wouldn't pay for YouTube Red. The simple fact being that I don't mind ad's. There have been a couple of times I've been really annoyed with them such as having to watch multiple 30 second ad's but that occurs rarely.

I think that's pretty crucial to be fair. I don't mind much for adverts...in fact sometimes I actually like them when they give me cool music to find or a new TV show to watch!
 
I voted for maybe in the future.

I don't watch enough YouTube atm (too busy working on my own channel) so it wouldn't be worth it for me at this moment in time.

As a creator, I don't actually mind seeing the ads tbh - It's interesting to keep an eye on what companies are buying ad space.
 
I'm frustrated with the idea of a subscriber pool of money that is then doled out. If it was individualized so that the money from my subscription was split by watch time among the channels that I watch, I'd sign up in a heart beat. Directly being able to support content creators that I enjoy is an awesome concept.

But having it be a big pool of resources homogenizes the whole thing and reduces the individual impact of Red subscriptions on channels with small but dedicated audiences. Then you're no longer really supporting your favorite creators, your money rather is potentially going to support people you don't even watch which is nonsense in my view.
