You’re right, cost of content creation comes on top of the running costs, too.
All this also doesn’t take into account how creators gets paid.
It’s a big system, with enough moving parts that I understand the ad/pay model existing. I just wish they weren’t such prices about how they choose to operate it sometimes.

If they want to make money in such system, they can simply host their node and use something like patreon to get paid.
(yes, there should be the option for a node to not be able to share a video and to stream it only to subscribed users, but that does not seems to be a big problem)
