If only YouTube gave the creators a reasonable share.
- tomschwiha 3y agoFrom my knowledge a lot of YouTubers get paid by advertisers and they don't even let the viewers know. The single view is not much worth - I estimate the streaming costs are quite high (think of all the bandwith you need for 4k/8k streaming with low latency). Sadly I couldn't find numbers for YT profit.
- Euphorbium 3y agoHere is a solution: make high res streaming separate price tier, or remove it.
- kirab 3y agoThey do, AFAIK creators get much more money from Premium viewers than ad-supported viewers. And not just relatively, sometimes in absolute numbers as well.
- Waterluvian 3y agoThat’s the kind of comparison YouTube hopes you do. Compared to patronage systems, it’s a pittance. You may as well try to pay your favourite shows directly rather than give your money to Google and have them redistribute it on your behalf.
- artursapek 3y agoGoogle is providing a service here. I think people have gotten so used to the internet they forget the massive costs involved in running a website like YouTube.
- Waterluvian 3y agoThe cable companies wish to convey the same.
- jsnell 3y agoWhat revenue share split do you think they have right now? What share would you consider reasonable?
