This is where the biggest challenge lies. Doing what YouTube does is not easy. I don’t think anyone could do it all. So it would have to be picking a choosing. Can anyone upload hours/days/years worth of video content? Are the people who put up those videos able to get paid without having to create their own relationships with advertisers or asking for viewer donations? How are copyright violations handled? Or more sinister video content?

Yes, things get easier when you take paying creators out of the mix.
Why do they even do that. Instagram, tiktok don’t share their ad revenue with their content creators.
Not sure. But it is one of the cornerstones of YouTube. Also tiktok does pay creators.

$10-$30/1,000 views doesn’t sound like much. Except the people who make a career out of YouTube are regularly producing 100k+ view videos. It adds up. It’s one of the things you can pick and choose to leave out of a competitor. But it is a major reason why people put videos on YouTube.

Do you have a source for that? What are you basing it on?
