I’m surprised they allow ads (sponsor segments) they get no cut from at all.

- Sanzig 1y agoSponsorships are the primary way YouTube creators make money. There aren't many things that could knock YouTube off its near-monopoly market position, but banning sponsorships is definitely one. Creators would revolt.
- izacus 1y agoThey pretty surely would not.
- realusername 1y agoThey wouldn't have a choice, your average big youtube channel earns 95% of their revenue from sponsorship. It would either be trying a revolt or stop youtube.
- xmprt 1y agoCreators are already starting to build their own platforms for hosting videos and many of these are quite successful unlike prior iterations from 10 years ago.
- sebastiennight 1y agoDo you have some examples? I am still a bit sore from my adventures as a creator on Viddler and Dailymotion.
- pyth0 1y agoI would point to platforms like Curiosity Stream and Nebula, which are creator driven. Though I would not exactly call them Youtube replacements, as they are more just platforms designed for supporting specific creators more directly (akin to Patreon). These platforms are often advertised as in-video sponsorships, so going back to the original point, I do think creators would be very vocal if such ads were banned.
- weberer 1y agoKick is one that's been poaching big names lately. I've also seen people starting to stream on X and Rumble.
