Money is the answer! When a show is on YouTube they don't make very much as YT have squeezed the returns on monetized videos quite a lot over the past few years. So now they go to streaming services where they can often strike a better deal, especially with shows they know will be popular. However, as Timmy said below, this can be risky as it gradually pushes folk into seeking out other ways to view including piracy.
its airing live right now on youtube! GMMTV official channel
It's available on YT for most countries - except Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and United States, who have other providers. For the US and Canada it will be on iQIYI.
The B&D stands for Bondage and Discipline and the S&M stands for Sadism and Masochism - it's usually deemed a fetish kink for people into consensual role play eroticism.
Considering it's a short drama produced by a youtube channel and not broadcasted in China, it's safe to assume…
YouTube has been banned in China since 2009, but there are other places ppl can go to see danmei shows such as BiliBili and Youku. It's also illegal to use a VPN in China but apparently that hasn't stopped their use, so I guess ppl can watch YT that way.
Considering that this starts tomorrow, is there still no official synopsis yet (apart from the poster tag line) or details of the full cast and director?

It's also showing on Viki but is apparently not available in my country (UK) so I don't know where I'm supposed to be able to watch it!
EDIT - It's now available for me in the UK on Viki.
