    paywall that finances both creation and the providing material.

    Finance creation? It promotes lazy copycat contents. Even respectful (at least before their YouTube career) tech/artisan/DIYers etc are falling for the clickbait, the YouTube’s basic/teen humor… I pass on the tabloid stuff.

    You want to make views. use these keywords:

    • Apple
    • I spent $$$ on …
    • AI

    The thing is that platform is just a TV.
    I guess content creators should also pay for their access on the platform, not just a cut on the revenue. it will enforce good/honest creation .

      You might criticize the content all you want but it’s another discussion for another time. The question is still it still how to finance a site like YouTube, with the content and amount of viewers it has, without ads or fees.

      Your solution with content owners/creators paying for the housing of their creation is Vimeo.

      Not even close to YouTube
