It's orthogonal to the intention, perhaps.
However, in implementation, it's much easier to make a few deals with large companies, rather than to ensure that each of the tens of millions of nobodies with 10 subscribers completely adheres to the letter of the law.
- cinquemb 8y agoPart of me just thinks this will be bad for youtube in the long run, not content creators as they (and their audience) will find other outlets.
- Jyaif 8y agoThe outlets will be production studios that will eventually monetize the money on youtube. All that this regulation does is (surprise!) add intermediaries, reducing the amount of money youtube and content creators get, and increasing the barrier of entry for new creators. Less creators means the customers get less creative content.

- AllegedAlec 8y agoHow would this lead to competition? Any competition would have exactly the same problems.
- cinquemb 8y agoThe only competition I see for sites like YT are things like peertube in the long run, not necessarily a win for EU regulators or YT.
