Wow your brain really has been taken hostage hasn't it?
YouTube is a terrible music platform.
YouTube videos aren't worth that much.
If I'm paying for streaming video content, I prefer to pay the creators directly than let YouTube take an outsize cut.
YouTube has hundreds of times the reach of any other comparable service. They're milking their monopoly. They can bite a dick.
But you don’t pay them directly. Hardly anybody does, except YouTube and whatever midroll sponsor they can hack a deal with. That’s WHY content creators insisted on paydays through YouTube to begin with and why YouTube is trying to make enough money to pay them all and look profitable.
