    As someone who’s actually worked in this industry, your data isn’t enough to pay for video hosting services to the scale youtube provides. Youtube makes up a significant chunk of all network traffic in the world. It costs money.

        No i am not. But I am happy to support actual content creators and the platform that they host on and gets them the most views because I spend more time on YT than I do on any other streaming platform.

            They pay content creators more than any other platform to my understanding. I think the exception is kik (kick?) The streaming platform.

              Too bad you constantly have to be worried about dumb policy changes that can affect your older videos which can mean cutting off those revenue sources

              Also I’ve never seen another platform that demonetizes content as much as YouTube does.

                Both very fair points. But, there is no other platform that even compares for real.
