Problem: Creators should know what members are entitled to. Conditions: paid channel members. Method: slow mode does not apply to active paid members. Members can report perks that breach the Community Guidelines (sexual, violent, hateful, misleading or spam) via Join or See perks. Refunds are available for defective, unavailable or non-performing perks through support, but not for partially elapsed billing periods; Apple-billed members go to Apple. Notifications fire for new members-only posts, videos and live streams and 30 minutes before a scheduled members-only stream. Failure modes: perks that are not delivered can trigger refunds. Limitations: undated; Apple path outside YouTube.
