    two sides where consumers are on one and content creators and youtube are on the other.

    Youtube and content creators are not on the same side. This woefully reduces a complex problem with many different actors down to a Right Side and a Wrong Side, and anyone whose not on My Side, must be on the Wrong Side.

      I’m talking about purely in terms of ads on the video. Both youtube and content creators want as as much ad revenue as possible but not to the point where they lose viewership because of the quantity of ads. I’m not saying content creators are in the wrong, I’m just saying that they get paid based on ads, so of course they want more revenue. It’s just an analysis of the relationship, I’m not pointing blame towards anyone.
