I can pay for Netflix to be entertained for days at a time if I want to by original and classic shows and movies that I can’t watch anywhere else, or I can pay for YouTube to show me a bunch of kowtowing brow beaten “creators” try to skirt their ever changing draconian rules long enough to make something that barely counts as entertainment anymore WHICH I could also already watch for free with ads.
YouTube is way more than content creators. Just last night I watched an hour long episode of PBS news hour, an hour long EDM concert that was live in Europe a few days ago and then fell asleep to a bunch of clips from late night comedy shows. These aren’t struggling content creators, these are all from huge content providers that I’d have to track down separately if they weren’t on YouTube. Anything on Netflix I just pirate because tv shows and movies are easy to get.

Why would I ever pay them for anything?
