Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish
CustodialTeapot@lemmy.world 1 year agoLet me frame this another way.
Google is monopolistic and kills any other creator from competing. Thus preventing consumer choice.
Google is already one of the biggest companies in the world. I’ve never given them a penny in my 2 decades of service use. Yet the line goes up.
They exist because of us the consumer.
They also don’t pay, let alone treat, their creators fairly. Although they are 99% the reason they exist.
Yet Google wants more because line must go up.
There are other services I pay for such as nebula, float plane, patron specifics. But not all creators can sustain that. And I doubt it I pay for YouTube that will change. Because spoiler alert. YouTube don’t pay well. It’s sponsors and merch that keep creators alive.
