There are many other ways of making money for someone like me. Make good merch. Make an actually good platform i would like to invest in instead of the garbage platform its becoming. Make it possible to pay directly to channels i watch (and take a small cut) make the platform more open so people can contribute to the function of the playform with great addons and optimizations. Make adds that are not intrusive to the content. Make the creators actually control the adds so it's up to the creators when, where, what and how much adds should be shown (like in the old days) ... I could continue, but I do not have any sympathy for a monopoly platform that YouTube has become.
