It had its place when most of them were getting demonitized for existing on any other format, leaving it as one of the only ways to be paid to make content outside of direct merch. Now that isn't as much the case and yet people beg like it is.

That's why I like the guy Wendigoon, as milquetoast and a little gay as he can be at times, because the moment he reached enough subscribers, he just closed it and instead relied on making more content directly to make income.
