The so-called premium videos are said to be made by popular video producers, although details about the exact offer are lacking. Earlier rumors indicated that Google was working on a subscription service that would show videos ad-free. The internet company is said to have asked its creators to participate in this program. According to some reports, creators are even forced to participate, otherwise they would be banned from the video platform.
