So, one day after Instagram introduces IGTV to keep creators on their platform, YouTube jumps in with their attempt of keeping people on their platform? YouTube has been pushing creators like Blender forcefully monetise their videos. Today creators complain about burnout and abuse from their subscribers. Now with a corporate angle stepping in, they might be worked even harder to ensure their income streams are secured and fluent. Coming years might be the worst years of being a creator.

With paid memberships, content creators may feel they are a le to take time between videos to put out a more polished product, as their revenue stream is not nearly as tied to getting a certain number of views, being over 10 minutes long (and paddi g with filler to hit that as needed) and keeping from accidentally being demonetized. It's easy to assume that this is "more corporate" and thus must be worse for everyone else, but that's lazy. It's a compiles topic, it deserves complex thought.
