    The lack of alternatives where creators actually get paid for people watching their videos is the biggest problem.

      Even youtube doesn’t pay the creators that much. Lois Rossman in a recent video showed some of his video in YT that had over 200k views and generated ~100 USD of income.

        And that’s probably what will kill them as payouts get worse and worse making other platforms more attractive as you’re not losing as much. A lot of YouTubers I follow seem to becoming more and more reliant on Patreon as ad revenue goes down.

        On a related note. Why would creators add sponsored segments/other sponsoring/patreon etc if YT pays them enough?

        spoiler

        YT doesn’t pay them enough. Unless your some kind of super star.
