The best way for them to do this would be create a intermediary service as a way to "make it easier to connect advertisers and creators" by streamlining payment, terms, etc.
While it would likely be a great boon (think Stripe + legal service + getting paid on time), it would likely end up like PayPal; creators constantly getting their accounts shut down for "suspicious activity" and their money pocketed.
- wernercd 5y ago"it would end up like paypal" Am I mistaken, but doesn't Google/Youtube do this already? I mean they aren't a payment processor like PayPal, but they shut down accounts all the time for little to no reason and most users have no recourse.
- josephcsible 5y agoPayPal waits to shut down your account until it has a substantial amount of money in it, and then when they do shut it down, they "freeze" (basically steal) it all.
- jptech 5y agoEven if they don't go as far as creating a service to connect the two, they can just require the content creators to declare which products/services they are promoting. See it as a form of combating fake news or informing of bias in political posts. Google being google can connect the dots and squeeze more revenue out if that.
