True but there are likely a few channels or videos that bring new users to the platform and then view other content and yet that creator only gets what that user viewed on their video. Not the fact that they likely brought a lot of views to the platform (rise in water lifts all hosts scenario) I highly suspect if you look at what all the content creators and people receive via ads. Plus overhead of running YouTube. They are likely making tons more money in profit when main content creators are getting the short stick.
