Seemed like people were uploading before youtube started paying people, so I dont buy that %100

Maybe I could meet you in the middle there because I can see that happening.

People were uploading, and still are. Uploading a video for my friends, or a school project which needs no return open platforms work perfectly. Irrelevant to my point.

Companies/Content Creators are on the platform because it pays them. If being on youtube did not pay them, they would go to a platform that did, eg twitch, tiktok.
