    youtube hosts, handles bandwidth, provides creator tools, deals with monetization, handles royalties, and creates the platform…

      That’s nice. Do they also create the content for the platform that is by far the most costly part of it? Or have they simply found a way to monetize content that does not belong to them?

        a) without youtube, creators wouldn’t have a platform b) they’re monetizing it to pay creators.

          Does every single creator get paid for their work and the value that they add to the platform? Or does YouTube arbitrarily get to decide who gets a tiny piece of the revenue from the content that YouTube doesn’t own?
