      They also pay content creators, so perhaps you will need to drill into a bit more detail instead of offering a factually inaccurate single-line reply.

        They pay some creators a pittance, and can revoke that amount and/or ability at any time, for any reason, even for reasons which are not listed in their terms, are factually inaccurate, or otherwise allows them to fuck the creator. Yt is like the waitstaff in the US, “yeah we pay them” ($3 an hour and the rest has to come from elsewhere to make ends meet).

        Call me when you see a 90 second sponsor segment for SquareSpace in your next Netflix show.

      The vast majority of content uploaded is never going to make them any money. They get free content but hosting it is incredibly expensive.

        Vast majority of content won’t fucking lose them money either, you hairless ape. They show ads even on unmonetizable content, i.e. they’re using voluntary labor to make money.
