    Content creators do make money off ads*. Do you mean they make more money from sponsors and donations?

      I mean the revenue stream from YT is so unreliable. You say shit once in the wrong context, and poof demonetized. Or just for no reason. No creator of actual quality content really makes much from YT, because YT prefers to serve stupid consumer nonsense. A lot prefer to not have ads served on their videos at all (at least if that’s still an option, I don’t even know).

        It is bad, and worse for smaller channels. Youtube hasn’t been great to their content creators.
