    Dude they sell our data to advertisers and big data for profit. The least they can do is provide some services for us for the amount of analytics they collect from us on a daily basis.

      Dude, they ARE the advertiser. That’s Google’s main business. They have no incentive to export ANY of your account data to 3rd parties. Business tell them what groups of people to advertise to, and their systems handle the rest. They’re open about how it all works.

      As someone who’s actually worked in this industry, your data isn’t enough to pay for video hosting services to the scale youtube provides. Youtube makes up a significant chunk of all network traffic in the world. It costs money.

          No i am not. But I am happy to support actual content creators and the platform that they host on and gets them the most views because I spend more time on YT than I do on any other streaming platform.

              They pay content creators more than any other platform to my understanding. I think the exception is kik (kick?) The streaming platform.

                Too bad you constantly have to be worried about dumb policy changes that can affect your older videos which can mean cutting off those revenue sources

                Also I’ve never seen another platform that demonetizes content as much as YouTube does.

                  Both very fair points. But, there is no other platform that even compares for real.
