The people viewing will pay! Do you not understand the use of adblockers will only grow, if no one is seeing Volvo's ad how are they making money? Unless youtube lies about their analytics eventually ad revenue will shrink. I like kicking a buck to the guys I like live steaming.

Me too, but now how will YouTube profit off of this? They can't advertise on that person's videos. If this person is leeching bandwidth off YT and making their own money on Patreon, what's the incentive for YouTube to keep propping them up?

They don't pay that cash out immediately, and I'm sure they take a cut. So, I can imagine if they collectively had super chats sitting in an account drawing interest and taking a cut, Profit can be made. Again, More ad blockers means less advertisement dollars.

I still think it isn't consistent enough to convince some boomer investor versus income straight from other companies. Maybe if internet ads become completely unreliable YouTube will relax on all the rules they've been making up to appeal to the advertisers.

People are becoming more tech savvy, that only increases as the old die off. Most tech savvy users aggressively block ads. It is already unreliable, and will increasingly get worse. Once these companies realize no one is seeing their ads. What will they do? Oh, pull the money.

Yup. Though I feel like things will somehow get worse when that happens rather than better. Just a hunch.

So, Let's circle back to the beginning. Is this about making money, or the narrative? A tech giant like alphabet, who makes their money with ads knows full well about what we're talking about. Ads are not the future, yet they alienate creators that pull money in their direction.

Well what do you believe? That companies will readily manipulate the public to get them to buy their shit, or the vague idea of a "narrative" that exists for no reason at all.

These companies have a duty to their share-holders, every small bit matters. Heading into the future, ad revenue will only decrease. By turning away anyone, they are cutting off potential revenue streams. For what purpose?

Bigger revenue streams that they are apparently willing to make the gamble on. And they'll either win or lose.

But why not both? Why turn away the revenue? There isn't enough ads to go around, I keep using @MisterAntiBully 's good friend Metokur as an example. Ads weren't showing on his videos, but he was making ~4k a month. Why turn away the revenue, for what purpose?

In his case it was just a technicality. He needs videos on the channel to stay partnered because YouTube is not primarily streaming site. I could see them fixing this in the future for people who only want to stream.
