Would Youtubers be considered petit bourgeoisie since they own the means of production (a camera and an editing software) yet they still needs to sell the product of his labor to YouTube ads? (lemmygrad.ml)

Content creators are akin to writers, they do not own the platforms where their content is published only their "brand". (Writers sell their publishing rights to big publishers who take most of the profit off sells while authors get minimal royalties).

Also nowadays most income from content creators comes from crowdfunding services (which they also do not own) like patreon. They are a "crowdfunded" class.
