    Nobody makes money off YT ads, all the creators who do content for money are paid from donations or sponsors. (Ok maybe not those who make just 30 sec clips. I mean people who make useful content.)

    So at most this is meaningless. But it’s not like YT is exactly friendly to creators. There are constant complaints about YT breaking shit, their inconsistent and unclear rules and overall incompetence.

    One of these days YT will also piss off someone important who will move elsewhere with millions of viewers, and starts the flood.

    It’s not just about ads. Everyone knows Google is an extremely toxic company for all the parties except themselves.

      If that would really be true than they wouldn’t complain about being demonetized

      Content creators do make money off ads*. Do you mean they make more money from sponsors and donations?
