If you ever wonder why the YouTube competition is shit, it's this. Content creators seem universally unwilling to not grab all the money, in the name of principle, and treat their video as "YouTube first, everything else backup/secondary."

Yeah, I get it, it's hard to leave five figures a month on the table. But never forget that money exists to keep you putting this content first.

Fuck YouTube, but I also refuse to be a second class viewer.
