Are you referring to the subscription service for some of YouTube's specialist video channels?  Link please.   ???

It was on the news and there are several reports on Google.  Here's a link to one of them...

From those links, it looks like it's been grossly sensationalized from what I've been hearing.  I heard they were starting out with something like 50 channels and it won't affect any of the stuff we have been sharing here on the forum.  NPR did a pretty good cover of it.....
