who they do business with is advertisers

content creators are essentially contractor/employees

hmm

I see both sides.

lmao thats a stretch

Autism

sargon is an employee of youtube lol

effectively... he is creating content, attracting more product

arnt content creators self employed?

for tax purposes yeah

theyre more like contractors

"like" means similar but not actually

so they are "like" that but not at all

weasel words because you know they arent contracted

you're not an employee of samsung cos you make phone calls on their phone

I mean when you get a channel you sign a contract (or press the agree button)

they get paid from youtube

hmm you share the money with youtube too.

60/40 split.

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
