    They’d have more paying subscribers if they didn’t charge more than Netflix for what amounts to user-generated content that they’re getting for free.

          Everyone in every aspect of this economy tries to get the most while paying the least. I swear people in here are bitching about absolute economic basics that they themselves are guilty of.

          If you hate monopolies, go pay for Nebula and Curiosity stream like I do.

            I do pay for Nebula, it is not the Solution to our Problem. We need regulation.

        They’re not getting it for free. They pay video creators. And they know that the more they can pay them, the more and better content they will get.

        barely, most of that payment is from premium subscribers and memberships, people who spend their own money on this, youtube gives them a share of the ads, sure, but ads are basically a fraction of the majority of most youtuber incomes these days.
