This is the worst possible take I've heard this week, probably this year.
You would fuck over thousands of people, in addition to creating a bar of entry for anyone wanting to post a video or start a channel. Like I genuinely don't even know where to begin explaining how bad this take is.
But I don't want to pay and I want everything for free! Make somebody else pay for my enjoyment!
My statement was far too broad for it to be "setting a bar of entry". YouTube is trying to squeeze its viewers for every drop they can without having uploaders and im obviously not talking about the little guy here shoulder any of that cost. Who in your mind is responsible for the cost associated with lets say a Mr Beast video? Is it Mr Beast or is it the viewer? I think it's both.
Why the hell would someone go to all the trouble of filming and editing a video, which is also not a cheap process, then pay to have people see it?
