I’m still surprised what platforms that make money with the content that USERS make , charge or restrict USERS view. It’s kinda crazy model that people accepted for so many years. For one side this is good because it will make users to reconsider what they do and how they corporations make money from it. Google money model has a date of death.

Those platform exist because the Web is utterly terrible when it comes to discovering content and monetizing it. “Google-bad” is easy to say, but I have yet to see a real alternative.

Youtube still pays those Creators money for their content, some dedicated enough even do that as their job and live off of that youtube money, some very, very comfortably. If YT (or a similar entity for that matter) didn’t exist and get money trough ads and subscriptions how many of those creators do you think would still make content, let alone live off of it?

Everyone here screams how bad and greedy YT/Google is, but when it comes down to giving the creators they watch money trough other means (patreon etc.) who actually would do that? yeah…no one.

  Except for, you know. There are hundreds of creators who live out of Patreon and sponsor money who don’t monetize their videos. It’s true there aren’t that many people willing to pay for video creators. But they’re not zero.

  There is nebula.tv which hosts most of my favorite creators without all the YT crap. I am very happy to pay them.
