I legit hate this take. YT was started as a way for everyone to share videos with each other, not be a corporate pusher for those that want to 'go big'. The fact that YT even offered profit sharing is awful.
Yeah, go ahead and support who you like. But don't sit there and be like "you're hurting them if you don't pay them and you don't want their bullshit ads". Get the fuck out of here with that shit. "creators" who "make a living" from YT are the reason YT is a cesspool of dogshit now. If you aren't on YT because of a genuine desire to simply share videos, without expecting monitary kickbacks to support your life, gtfo. The support should come naturally through other avenues.
you could have just saved all of that when you read my comment. "unless you support that creator in some other way" you know, like your mentioned natural other avenues?
I read it sweetheart, that's why I replied to it. To reiterate, supporting people, especially huge 'influencers' with millions of subscribers, who turned a website for sharing videos with friends and their communities into their career and, as a collective, then into the internet version of cable TV in order to line their pockets and drain the lifeblood from the platform's original goal, isn't what I'd call a positive position to be arguing for. Just because we share one factor (that the incentive/income should come from elsewhere) does not make your overall viewpoint good, and certainly not when you try to shame/guilt others for not wanting to be force-fed shit so xXxBigBlazeIt420 can buy another car next month and promptly crash it for the views. Remember to demolish that like button, stir up some artifical chatter in the comments for the YouTube algorithm, eat some avocado toast, and if we get to 3 million subs by Friday, I'll discount my OnlyFans for the first 500 subscribers! Now, a word from our lovely friends at SquareSpace!
