That’s not accurate, they didn’t say “charge creators who have their own sponsorships and merch stores” he said it as two separate statements “Charge creators” and “They have sponsorships and merch stores.”
While we’re on the topic, YT does already penalize people for videos that contain advertisements and have in the past put strikes videos that link to crowdfunding pages. Monetary fines for the larger pages might make sense, but idk how profitable it would be, especially if it gets contested in courts and adds legal fees.
It would make sense to charge some channels for being on the platform. A good example in my feed is Banks Power. They make their money selling turbos and other stuff to WT. Then they come to YT and build brand precense basically for free. YT deserves some of the money generated from being a cheap advertising platform imo.
So we’re thinking some sort of self reported income bracket? Or maybe if the channel gets deemed as a primarily advertisement channel? How do you define it in a way that doesn’t negatively impact the good actors and entertainers?
Right it would be hard to implement. It’s just one of the types of channels I don’t think should be getting income from ads because it is an ad. Realistically it’s much easier to not bother making more rules that are expensive to implement.
