But this comes back to the point about who the customer is. YT are not harming his customers. They’re harming (from their perspective) those annoying expenses.

But this comes back to the point about who the customer is. YT are not harming his customers. They’re harming (from their perspective) those annoying expenses. I don’t think you can equate it to a business relationship because those same relationships in broadcasting looks totally different (disclaimer: I used to work in broadcasting). Content creators need to wise up that they’re not part of the business relationship in YTs business model. The fact they get paid at all is a by product.

The customer for YouTube is definitely the advertisers I do agree there. I think the relationship between YT and creators is more akin to an event venue, definitely nothing like broadcasting. In venues, the relationship is symbiotic, without artists there would be no events, without venues, artists would have no where to host a large audience. YT similarly does not have an audience without it's creators, and so it requires their work. YT is of course a mixed bag, since there are lots of accounts that treat it more like a video hosting platform. But for those making it their business to make YouTube videos, it's definitely a commercial relationship.
