    If google was taking like ten or twenty percent off the top after creators collected their money, I would do this in a heartbeat. The simple fact is I don’t want to give every cent of my money to google while legitimate artists don’t get paid. Especially when they do everything they can to NOT pay those artists now.

      What are you talking about? YouTube pays out more than any other platform. You can hate on them for lots of stuff, but creator support isn’t one of them.

        I’ll be real I didn’t know they paid better than others. But what does the number look like? Are they taking ten percent? Twenty? Or is it more like they pay out what’s equivalent to like one percent? If the numbers aren’t largely in the artist’s favor, it’s still exploitation and not ok.

        Also don’t tell me I can’t hate them for any reason. Without researching I am VERY confident they are exploiting artists. It’s what companies like this do to artists.
