Sounds like he's connected with youtube now. I'm sure the team is checking out that feedback. So, hopefully it'll get fixed as it's bad for both content creators and viewers. The video was pretty cool. Really liked the all access "how it's made" type content. Pretty cool.

It won't revert the damage it's done already, though. Youtube, being the main source of income for so many creators, plays a dangerous game with those 'beta-tests', offering apparently not-well-tested features to the creators, playing with their revenue as a result.

It seem inevitable that YouTube will always drive creators revenue down to 'subsistence' level, where 'subsistence' is just enough to keep them making videos. From a shareholder's point of view, anything more is giving away money.

Upvoted because this sums up Silicon Valley, or capitalism.

no one apart from "game the system" type channels like those kid toy unboxing channels are using youtube as a primary source of revenue anymore.

merchandise,patreon and ad sponsorships are the only way to make an actual living with youtube

Literally in the video on which you're commenting, the creator states: "Right now, the main source of income that pays for this, is Youtube ads"

[StavrosK]

I hope that's true, as I think Patreon aligns much more closely with the creators' incentives than YouTube does.

Literally couldn’t be further from the truth.
