There is no way around this. If you do not opt in to Youtube’s subscription program, all your videos will be set to private. The upside is Youtube promises a 55 % cut from those subscriptions, on top of the 45 % they currently make from views.
A spokesperson for Youtube shared this comment via email:
While we can’t comment on ongoing discussions, giving fans more choice to enjoy the content they love and creators more opportunity to earn revenue are always amongst our top priorities.
