The really annoying part is YouTube gets all their content for free, while every other subscription video service pays for content.
Creators no longer get ad revenue? What did I miss?
I believe he is referring to the fact that YouTube don't have to pay upfront for new content, they even get new content without hunting for it, and many smaller channels don't have partnership and so on.
Sure they have a platform, backend and so on. But Netflix needs to have all that too plus buy things to show to their customers.
That's what I thought, and it's kind of a silly point to make. You're just moving around the order of the steps. They still pay for it.
