what do you think of people making videos, they deserve to be paid right?

Yes, but ultimately it is not my responsibility to make their business model viable. That's between them and Google - not me.

I am not Google's accountant. They can figure it out.

  • It's not your responsibility. That's why Google makes you do it (pay or watch ads). Otherwise they can't pay creators and if they don't get paid then you don't get content you like to watch. Lose lose. So I'd say they kinda figured it out.

Why is it automatically assumed that just because you post a video on youtube that you deserve to be paid? None of my videos made me any money and I’m fine with that.
