There’s been enough creators that have had enough problems with YouTube that maybe something could happen. I’m not putting money on it or anything but it wouldn’t be that crazy.
The big names are making insane amount of money. What are they going to strike over? Their working conductions are also entirely up to themselves and have nothing to do with Google. Google gives them a free platform with a massive audience, and pays them money. It’s all upside.
Caleb Hammer just had the tables turned on him to have some audit his finances. He has 726k subscribers, a good number, but far less than the real big names, and he’s only been on the platform for 1 year. He is making $100k per month.
Is everyone here just pro-strike, no reason needed?
You can’t even say the algorithm requires them to post too much to stay relevant, as Mark Rober only posts 1 video per month and is one of the biggest people on the platform.
Some of the video take downs are bull shit. I’m with you on that.
I think I’d need to see a better picture of the value breakdown to know if that’s a reasonable ask. YouTube is extremely expensive to run, and these creators (the big ones) already have more money than they know what to do with. I can’t really feel bad for a 23 year old pulling in 7 figures.
Going with what is happening in the SAG/AFTRA strike, perhaps the big names shouldn’t join the strike because they would come across as entitled, but they are more than welcome to donate towards the strike.
A YouTube creators’ strike isn’t an impossible notion. It’d just have to be led by a couple of big names, like a Mr. Beast type.
Mr Beast is the result of the trendy gen Z libertarian millionaire pipeline. He will never unionize nor support strikes.

They could argue for
Pretty much like anyone’s top two asks. More money, more security.
