Paid YouTube Alternatives

Paid YouTube Alternatives are other streaming services that have exclusive footage which is not being able to be seen on the main channels. Some examples include historian YouTubers having a service called the Armchair Historian which is used by channels such as KhAnubis, and some educational YouTubers use Nebula such as RealLifeLore and Wendover Productions. The goal of these YouTube alternatives is to supplement modernization since YouTube will sometimes not allow ad revenue on some videos.
Most of these streaming services allow a collection of videos by making an announcement video on the member channels. Then, interested users pay for the services, and the users are allowed to watch exclusive content. The goal of these services is to test out experimental content that YouTube might not support.
Unlike Patreon, there are usually no exclusive comments by the owner of the channel, and the content is pre-recorded. The trend of paid YouTube alternatives started around 2019 with Nebula and others have followed.

==YouTube's & YouTuber's Response==
YouTube has largely stayed silent or has not made a mention of the streaming services, but Piper Blush claimed that YouTube has punished her for creating CocoScope. FTD Facts mentioned that it is possible to be rejected by these streaming services if you are a creator since he tried to join Cocoscope but received copyright warnings. YouTubers who are in these paid YouTube alternatives make comments about these programs towards the end of one of their videos.
This is different than other YouTubers who have worked closely to YouTube such as making YouTube Red content mostly such as Vsauce.
There is even a 100% promo code for the Armchiar Historian which is "FIGHTYOUTUBE" which shows the effort that some YouTubers are placing into these services.
