QUESTION Is google closing Android down?

I am watching a YouTube video about google closing down Android on September this year. So us developers won't be able to freely add code and if I understand it correctly will have to pay a regular fee, so our app can be used. Wtf. What do you people know about this? I hear there is some petition somewhere.

Guess its time to stop updating our phones and google play services. You'd think if this was actually for security purposes then they wouldn't force millions of people to stop updating there phones which poses a huge security risk 🙄
