    Millions of creators are “dealing” with them just fine. Not sure what so hard about setting up a patreon account or coordinating with sponsors. Pretty sure it is much easier than dealing with a multi-trillion dollar corporation. It just feels wrong he’s putting his voice behind a paywall where many people could just benefit from it if it were on YouTube.

      Millions of actors get by performing in local theaters but George Clooney probably wouldn’t take that gig. Jon Stewart is not on the same level as YouTubers. I can’t imagine he’d even make half of his contract on YouTube

      I get what you mean here and agree with the sentiment. I just can’t blame him for taking the significantly better deal
