Sorry if i missed something obvious, but from the linked page it not entirely clear to me if my monthly amount would be distributed only between the channels I actually watch or like Spotify where content producers get their revenue based on their share of total views in the pool favoring the people on top.

"New revenue from YouTube Red membership fees will be distributed to video creators based on how much members watch your content."

Unfortunately it sounds like it uses the Spotify model.

Ok, then Red makes no sense for me and the channels I watch as a viable alternative to patreon.
