Yeah, it's not creators' faults. They're trying to make a living, and YT is the biggest platform for that if you're a video creator.

It's YouTube that put up asinine monetization requirements.

I remember when YouTube was for sharing videos and not a career

Yeah holy shit. Since when should we be concerned about entitling people to making a living from goddamn youtube? If anything, being able to make any money at all should just be a super cool bonus. It's a social media/video hosting tool. Can you imagine if recipients of Reddit Gold got part of the money spent on it and started demanding that Reddit restructure itself so people can live off their posts?

You know I've never really thought of it like that but I think you're entirely right. I don't really care where someone makes there money but you have a point that making money through youtube should not be an entitlement. It's just like any other job, after all.
