I think you might be confused, because any creator can make their content free to access. If they are playing in someone else's house, yeah there might be rules they don't like, but it's also not their house.
Nothing stops creators from self-hosting and absorbing the full cost themselves.Yt doesn't even care if you link to your own hosted version of the video on their platform.
- Dylan16807 1mo agoI meant what I said. Companies are allowed to be rude to everyone but it's still bad for them to be rude.
- WarmWash 1mo agoRude that they don't give you free unencumbered access?
- Dylan16807 1mo agoWhen they got the content for free, usually yes.

- Dylan16807 1mo agoYoutube is pretty much fine. Outside of a few janky age restrictions, you can just go to youtube and watch videos. Remember right at the start: "There's no reason you can't abolish login walls while still serving ads." This is how youtube works. X is the one blocking or messing up views without accounts (and also being too likely to ban accounts that don't give a phone number). Though most people posting on youtube are doing it for free or negligible revenue (I'm not sure how it works out on a per-view basis), and a lot of the rest make almost all their money elsewhere.
- account42 29d agoIt used to be that when your house is the size of a city or even country that it isn't just your house anymore and you don't get to set the rules on your own. When a platform becomes big enough it should be treated more like a utility and a startup.
