@ebassi Agree entirely on this. "Our poor creators are starving and we need ads to pay them a few cents" is a problem they Google/YouTube created themselves.
A video platform like this could let me leave tiny donations (e.g.: €1) for videos that I like. Charge all the donations together at the end of the month and it should be a nice sum.
But of course, Google will never implement this, because it conflicts with business model of gathering data and selling ads.
