I get that Google has infinite money and infinite evil. But how convenient you also get to skip out on paying the majority expense, which goes to the creator...
And yes virtuous commentor, I know you are one of the 1.5% that convert to a patreon supporter. Now ask everyone else why they get to eat for free (while endlessly complaining that the restaurant sucks).
- anothernewdude 1y agoPeople create for free. The content that is created in order to earn revenue suffers because of it.
- asadotzler 1y agoCreators choose to host their content on platform that puts it on the public Web where ads are easily blocked. If creators have an issue, it is with Google, not my ad blocker. I don't owe creators anything; I have no agreements with them. Google is the one with creator contracts. Google may owe creators something, but I certainly don't and I'm not going to adopt Google's burden on that.
- aucisson_masque 1y agoHonestly the kind of video out there made solely to make money aren’t what I’m looking after, I wouldn’t mind if they all went away. YouTube has always been the guy showing how to replace a 97 Honda civic oil filter in an unedited 5 minutes video and 240p, or the one sharing their passion. You know, the genuinely interesting stuff.
- spixy 1y agoRight, because all that hardware needed for storing and streaming all that video is free. 55% is OK
