YouTube creators have built those multi-million dollar businesses on top of a free service, you can't expect many rights when you don't pay to use the product, regardless of whether or not you're making money for the host.
I can see both sides of the argument, but developing an application and paying to host it on AWS or GCP is different to creating A video and uploading it somewhere for free.
- talmand 9y agoSo you are somehow claiming that YouTube offered these services purely out of the kindness of their hearts and didn't receive any form of revenue whatsoever?
- DanBC 9y agoHow many youtubers are "multi million dollar businesses"?
- unfunco 9y agoI imagine a there are a fair number of them, all of the top ten are earning over $10M per year. http://uk.businessinsider.com/highest-paid-youtube-stars-2017-12/#no-8-tie-ryan-toysreview-11-million-2 http://uk.businessinsider.com/highest-paid-youtube-stars-201...
- Tannic 9y agoOh come on. The videos generate ad revenue and youtube takes a great deal of that. It’s a revenue sharing “agreement” (read:monopoly takes its cut).
