>should Youtube host your video for free?
Yes, because I am making content for them for free. It is unpaid labor on my part in exchange for free hosting. Now it is unpaid labor that makes them money.
- TACIXAT 6y agoCould someone explain the downvotes? I do not believe this is such a radical opinion. Prior to this change you were still producing content for the YouTube ecosystem for free until you hit 4k view hours. Then you could begin to make a meager amount of money. It is not such a great deal for content creators and now it is even worse.
- freyir 6y ago“I am making content for them for free.” YouTube is a business. Hosting and serving your content costs them money. If your content provides no means to recoup those costs, you’re not doing them a favor, they’re doing you a favor.
- chii 6y agoYou are not making content for youtube _for free_ - because they didn't ask you to do it. You are just making content. But you did ask youtube to host for free.
