That's ignoring the first part of his comment though. He said the ones that have merch stores and patreon pages. Not just getting YT money.
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.
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.
