Youtube is a monumental money-making machine for Google because of the large amount of ads. Creative content is only incidental, it is not the primary purpose of Youtube to foster creation, only to gather ad revenue. It shows in the way they treat creators and viewers vs advertisers and rights holding companies. So this backlash is justified, but for what, TikTok, another closed garden controlled by another media comany ?
I'd personally want to see rise an alternative made of peertube and micro donations, where users would chose to pay for infrastructure and content creation, but I don't know how to make this happen.
