From what I understand, they're already getting paid pennies by youtube, which is why many of them constantly shill for patreon/nebula/curiositystream/whatever on top of sponsored content. So youtube is shit for the creators, shit for the consumers, and a net loss for google. It's the same non-business model as food delivery apps: nobody profits, yet it still somehow keeps going because modern economics is make-believe.
