MODERATORS
You mean the content they provide made by creators who only make a living through Patreon and donations?
What absolute nonsense, over half of YouTube's ad revenue goes to creators. The site itself is also phenomenally expensive to run.
I don't care what it costs to run YouTube. All I hear from the creators is "Support us on Patreon because YouTube doesn't pay" and they sure ain't asking us to buy YouTube premium.
I have literally seen 2 creators ever bring up youtube red, saying that yes subscribers do make up a more significant percentage of their revenue and did help a little bit when videos got demonetized. Every creator is saying some sort of the "I don't want all my eggs in one basket, I can't trust these platforms" argument.
These are not mutually exclusive
They don't make a lot of money. Neither does YouTube.
Who said that? Most I've heard speak on this topic argue the complete opposite.
Honestly, I agree with you with that. YouTube pays creators a lot, technically we shouldn't be removed about the presence ads, because it's how they stay afloat, that's just how it works. My main issue is the sheer amount of them nowadays. I used to gladly watch the ads, but it went from one or two before and after each video, to heaps of midrolls every couple minutes. It's not the ads that annoy me, it's the amount of them, which is the reason I use an ad blocker (which tbh applies to most of the Internet nowadays)
Oh yeah I agree, I 100% don't care. Creators can upload their videos somewhere else that's not owned by Google.
Even if YT gave all the money to the creators, ads are so cheap nowadays that it would need them approx 20.000 ad views just to pay a month of premium (and that's assuming every cent goes to them) big creators and publishers sure make money out of ads, in the end they get millions of views. But a smaller creator thst works hours upon hours on a video is making probs less than minimum wage through ads. Ergo If they want to make money they need to rely on generous people.
