I think the solution is that these jobs need to be compensated in proportion to their value, with applicants understanding what they've signed up for. Without moderation, there are no services. Governments that prioritize the protection of children among other things should enforce this.

At this point the applicants understand what they are signing up for. There's been enough press for that.

Except going forward they've be messed up, but with money.

This is the mindset all young people should have. One works for what one owns. It doesn’t matter how ‘hard’ the times are. We are Americans: we “beat the odds”, just like we did from the start.

So that's a 15% raise for content creators?

No? It should be a 30% raise for them (for the YT Premium family plan slice of viewers). As long as the revenue split percentage stays constant, an x% increase in the total cost will obviously translate to the same x% increase for each split.

You're right; percentages trip me up.

Assuming 50% split. Revenue is $10, Youtube gets $5, Creator get $5.

Revenue increases 30% (not what happened but for simplicity).

Revenue is $13, Creator gets $6.50. Increase is ($6.50 - $5.00) = $1.50. $1.50 is what % of $5.00? => 10% of $5.00 = $0.50, therefore 30% of $5.00 = $1.50.

Thus Creators receive an increase of 30%.

You have to admit the app is pretty good, though. Sure it's evil. But, like, who cares?

I used to agree about paying rent for my old files until I realized that it costs me anyways to ensure those files are available over a long time.

Good

Who cares though

Kind of okay with this if content creators really get 55%.

Agreed. People really don’t appreciate Bezos or Amazon enough

On the one hand, it’s easy to wallow in nihilism. On the other hand, many who employ an optimistic tone are selling something that probably won’t help
