Here's a copy of the most important points:
"Introducing the new Communities experience
This new space, linked from the creator's channel, is where creators and fans can truly connect on YouTube by building deeper relationships around shared passions.
We're using familiar features like posts and comments, plus our moderation tools, but YouTube Communities is different in a few key ways:
- Fan-initiated: Conversations and comments can be initiated and shared by fans, with creator control over who can participate. To start, only subscribers can post in Communities, and we’re evaluating more controls that could be helpful to creators as we continue our tests.
- Dedicated space: A dedicated spot for conversation and connection, empowering creators to maintain control over their content and brand while fostering meaningful community engagement in a comfortable and inviting space.
- Continuous dialog: Conversations transcend individual videos and posts, allowing topics to flow organically and continue over time.
- Community-powered: Fans drive the space, creating a sense of belonging where like-minded individuals can connect, learn, and share their passions."
