    There is buycoffie site to give donation to creators. Many yt creators dont get much money from yt ads cause they get demonetisation frequently.

      But do things like that actually translate into respectable revenue? I understand that there are technically ways to get paid, but they only matter to creators if they actually fill their pockets.

        The problem is nobody is crazy enough to host these much videos other than Google. Google wants to stay as a monopoly in long-form video sharing platforms and I don’t think Google is actually making much money in return comparing the cost if Petabytes of video files getting uploaded all the time.

        Even after keeping a huge chunk of money that they get from advertisers, I still don’t think it’s that profitable but Somany people use YouTube and - they get to also stalk our online activity and do god knows what with allaaat data.
