Because YouTube is a shit company that fleeces all of the content creators they’d be nowhere without- while simultaneously giving the middle finger to everyone that uses their service.

Yet amid all the whining and complaining about seemingly ALL of their business practices on a daily basis- we apparently have 100 million people willing to give them MORE money so they can continue abusing everyone that so much as even looks in their general direction.
