they're fucking rich af

This had better be good

@Deleted User what about i as a creator pay you a fee to host my video, and i then monetize that however i want--and you hopefully have an ad revenue system i can use

I just like how Disney princesses have become *the* meta to shoehorn so many political opinions into

archetypical stories again--it works

Or they're just trying to appeal to a bunch of adult children

Or a bunch of adult children think this is how to make actual children tow the line

Controversial creators might still have a hard time getting ads if the outrage machine goes after the advertisers.

I can't think of how many adult women i know who like people calling them princess. a lot

get good advertisers for them

edgy brands!

Just as likely to get called a misogynist 🤣

get Mt Dew or Budweiser to sponsor

I was also thinking about how video sharing would work

how should it be different?

^^^^tru

well if you can get the video for free then why subscribe

at this point

give us what youtube wont show us

i want my daily nazi pugs and i want the creator to make money

oh, i misunderstood you sorry

this isnt a well-developed idea but--
probationary subscription
if i click a video im unsubbed to i can watch 3 vids or ~15min content without subscribing OR that creator will occupy an empty slot in my inventory of channel slots

lets say i always buy more subscriptions in bulk, because thats the only way you sell them

so i buy 20-50 subs for $1-5 extra per month, and i spend them slowly, but if i watch a video from the same creator it would pull a spot for him until i maybe delete him to watch more white girls twerking

and just shoot me if that sounds like ass

have you studied business models?

No I haven't studied business models, but I've seen a few episodes of shark tank, so i'm basically an expert.

maybe you should hire a consultant 😄

I'm not looking to make this idea lol

youtube still isnt profitable to google

few people can afford to lose so much cash

I hope someone will rise to fill the gap and bring me daily ad-subsidized nazi pugs

I think if you give creators control over what content they place behind a paywall and what to just put out for free, then there they decide what is best for them. Kinda like how Crowder has mug club but he still puts out free content.

I think youtube could easily be profitable, which makes me curious as to why they are not

i dont think people at google are too bright

It may just be more complicated than we think

it is

always is

The only theory I can even consider at the moment is, as a component of a larger entity, they're using it as a lever to either manipulate larger markets, ensuring that they're indirectly funneling people into using more of their products, or they're using it in order to jump through various tax loopholes by having a company (or companies) under their umbrella that aren't, on the books at least, turning a profit

goog take a lot of blind stabs in the dark with new projects

they practically cancelled google glass before realizing people might like it for actual WORK.
