You're effectively claiming that anything a monopoly does is fundamental to how the world works and anything short of that is equivalent to starving content creators.
What a ridiculous assumption. If you can't even agree that conducting mass surveillance or distributing malware should be off limits, there's nothing you can do to make me take your claims seriously.
It's not all or nothing.
Exactly, Google doesn't have to screw over people this hard to deliver ads. But they do it because they can.
And by the way, many do quite well, to the point where it replaces and surpasses their family income.
That sounds exactly like what you'd hear from a get rich quick scheme. Still doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of people aren't going to "make it." It's not a reliable source of income.
Agree but that's a risk they've determined is worth taking
Creators haven't determined anything, they just have no choice because network effects and barrier to entry is granting Google a monopoly.
I don't know what to tell you. Millions of people watch YouTube because they get something from it, ads or not. Creators put in a ton of effort to produce content for YouTube because they believe it's worth it for to them to do so.
Everybody has a choice.
You've decided to boycott Google (I'm assuming, otherwise you're a massive hypocrite), which is also a perfectly fine choice.
