they get paid what youtube wants to pay them not what they have to

youtube doesnt have to pay you

they work for youtube by attracting more product and displaying advertisers for their customers

what abotu people who get demonitised?

are they employees too?

yeah.. and they get shitty pay 😛

they dont get any employee rights

and you keep saying employee, but thats not really what I said

you said employed

contractors^

> content creators are essentially contractor/employees
@wacka

a contractor doesnt have anywhere near the kind of rights

says employee right there

yeah a contractor/employee hybrid thing...

so neither then lol

but tbh, nothing like employee at all really...

far more like contractor

since there are literally no rights... so.. basically.. a contractor

but if you're an employee the compan ystill gets to decide what you do

they can fire you for example

so youtube can just delete your channel if they want

you're just being let go

yeah, just like a company can drop your contract

not saying youtube should be like this... but this is currently the most accurate analogy IMO

this was the video that brought this up. https://youtu.be/Q_Sfh6k9GRI

its more like volunteer work

theres no guarantee of pay

and no real rights associated

@cheiften98 "tyranny suits me when its for me"

yep

thats a good quote.

hes using the argument youtube would use to delete his channel if he stepped out of line

its not a quote i made that up

I like it tho xD

ill quote you when i use it

he also goes on to use the guilt by association that youtube also uses to delete peoples channels

"i dont want it to be taken out of context"

"i dont want advertises to see that"

"youtube is advertiser friendly, this content is not allowed"

Its pretty ridiculous.

the argument is about whether companies should be allowed to refuse service
