And you know why that is? Because youtube was never intended for serious content creators. It's meant for the general public as a means to express themselves, not as a space where people with commercial interests can promote themselves or their products.
Where on Youtube does it say that? That was a rhetorical question. It doesn't say that anywhere. That's just an assumption that many people chose to make ... an erroneous assumption it turns out. Am I the only one that's noticed networks touting their new fall shows on Youtube? That's just one example. There are countless examples of revenue generating entities using Youtube to direct viewers to their products.
Saying that anything that becomes popular will have to leave is kinda bullshitty, don't you think? This is the reality: anything that becomes popular on youtube with the intention of becoming popular and generating revenue, will eventually have to leave youtube because youtube doesn't generate revenue for them, only popularity.
That's not really true. I don't think that Brookers intended to become popular or generate revenue and yet she's now gone. She's off to greener pastures to make money.
Secondly, why would people who participate in a community which was created for the sole purpose of human interaction and self-expression through video's ever have to expect the community to reward them with money, if that's something the community wasn't created for at all?
Once again, please point me to where that's stated by the creators of Youtube. I think that all it's intended to be is a place where people can share videos for any purpose they desire. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. If I am please point me to where that's stated.
In my opinion, if the creators intended to startup a project to make money they should've stated that immediately and started up on revver itself, instead of infiltrating in a community to gain popularity, and then taking the viewers of that community to another site in order to generate revenue.
That's your opinion. I certainly don't agree, but that doesn't mean you're not entitled to it.
