You know what the problem is? it's that Youtube and more broadly speaking Google have completely squandered the benefit of the doubt.

All the shit about demonetizing channels for breaking ever shifting rules they haven't published...no. If Youtube treated content creators well, I might consider it, but they don't so I don't.

Content creators are a dime a dozen to them. And it's easy to see why. They're running an advertising platform, not a nursery for budding filmmakers. We create the value for youtube, they reap the profits.

Yeah the way they treat the creators on their platform, the way they handle copyright claims, the way they handle flase copyright claims, the way their algorithm radicalized a populace, their child feed is unmanaged and feeds children exploited by the worst of content farms, and the fact that they have a monopoly over the online video market.

I understand the web has a problem with monetizing content and its killing things like journalism and a lot of the third party internet, but I will continue to not feel bad about the expenses that the billion dollar company has to spend on server costs.
