    Why is it your responsibility to pay the creators? Google is a trillion dollar company and makes billions off of what people post on youtube. Shouldn’t they be paying them instead and not you?

    Besides, it’s only a matter of time before Google takes more and more of the cut that you think you’re paying them.

      Your logic doesn’t make any sense. They make money off of people paying for a service or watching ads. If you’re blocking ads then you’re costing Google money and no creators are getting paid. If you’re paying for the service then you don’t get ads, and you pay the creators, and you pay for Google to keep running the service.

      Lmao… Amazing logic.

      YouTube makes enough money to pay creators so you don’t have to.

      Ok, how do you think YouTube makes money?
