  Except for these people, it almost definitely is. They have staff, an office, inventory to manage, etc. Most YouTubers nowadays aren't just operating on their own, and thus have financial expenses outside of just paying themselves for their own labor, that can't just keep going if their revenue stream goes down, or even just takes a large enough cut.

  It's unfortunate, but that's just how a lot of the content creation industry works right now, especially on YouTube.

  GN is literally a sizable business, it absolutely is.

    If you are running a business then you should either toe the line with your platform provider or make sure you have alternatives in place to move away from them if you value full creative control.

  What do you want people to buy food with. Welfare checks lol? Where would they get money to buy stuff for testing. They have an acoustic chamber that’s fairly expensive.

  Revenue and professional channels are intimately linked and removing the revenue stream would open them up to bought reviews like heiLTT.

    Either way the creative control is compromised, just in different ways.

      We live in a society… What makes you think he’d even have a channel if he didn’t need money?

      Most of anything exist because people need money for food. Companies, technology, stuff. If people didn’t need money the channel most likely wouldn’t exist since stuff largely wouldn’t exist.

        That isn’t true though, plenty of people engage in creative endevours just for the pleasure of it.

        Maybe this channel wouldn’t but as soon as it started relying on other people and platforms there was always the risk those wouldn’t align with the creative message and something would have to give.
