YouTube is unprofitable if you look at direct compensation alone, if you have even 1M views per year not to mention a month you can find partnerships and sponsorships. I don't understand why people think YouTube should pay more, the vast majority of YT content doesn't cost anything to create nor does it generate any revenue for YT. Besides the really large channels the best thing one can do is to run a channel is parallel to their business and in support of it which is what many of the smaller DYI/Maker/Professional/Vocational channels do you run a machine shop you make a few videos per month and you draw more business rather than rely on ad revenue.
