    That’s not really correct. While yes, ads don’t pay great, this is generally the case, and maintaining servers with these amounts of data is really expensive. And with YouTube premium, actually, YouTubers get paid quite well. You can take a look at the LTT finances video. They make more money from premium than from YouTube ads, even though only a small fraction has it.

    That’s why I differentiate between publicly traded and privately owned companies. In the former, if the CEO’s ethics are stopping profits, they get kicked out. In the latter, if the CEO/owner happens to be a nice guy, it can have an impact on the company as a whole.



  • Many people are trying to give a definitive answer, and there are good theories, but honestly, it is still very much an open question. There are multiple interpretations and as people tend to do in popular science, some spread their opinion as a fact, but we don’t have one correct answer.
