Let's just say, unless YouTube crosses people's bottom lines and there's an alternative being actively advertised, people won't move.

Otherwise, they push that bottom line further.

The lack of alternatives where creators actually get paid for people watching their videos is the biggest problem.

Even youtube doesn't pay the creators that much. Lois Rossman in a recent video showed some of his video in YT that had over 200k views and generated ~100 USD of income.

On a related note. Why would creators add sponsored segments/other sponsoring/patreon etc if YT pays them enough?

YT doesn't pay them enough. Unless your some kind of super star.

And that's probably what will kill them as payouts get worse and worse making other platforms more attractive as you're not losing as much. A lot of YouTubers I follow seem to becoming more and more reliant on Patreon as ad revenue goes down.

Nebula pays creators, and you pay to Nebula.

I have nebula, but still pay also for YT subscriptions

Agreed. Seems there no floor to what people will put up with from them. I can’t understand it. I’ve tried products and services I found that I absolutely hated. I don’t have those products or services anymore.

It’s pretty easy to not do something.
