You make good points, but this stuck out the most to me. It's less scared, but somewhat defeatist. I make videos that are mostly entertainment (so less likely to be summarized) but are also technical for the subject matter. I can tell you from years of experience that my typical audience is dramatically more likely to use tools available to circumvent things. When I have a video that has broader appeal that gets significantly above average views I can see a nearly exponential increase in ad revenue as I tap into a group of viewers less likely to be using adblock.
So for some creators I can see an LLM summary crushing their ability to monetize by having their views eliminated. If people are searching for these things, there is market demand for them to exist. This is introducing a middle man that skims off the top of that market.
