According to this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BC3uI18oLU , there is a 55% revenue share with creators. So, about half of that money goes to maintaining and improving YouTube and the rest goes to the content creators themselves.
That sounds promising. So let’s say I only watch 2 creators judiciously. Will the share of my monthly membership distribute equally to them after the maintenance cut? Let’s say maintenance and google’s cut is 50%. Will the rest of 50 split evenly between the two creators? I genuinely want to understand that. Somehow I doubt google would keep their part of the deal and not put their hand into the honey. If they did keep their word they’re basically a utility and I would not mind paying for it, I would even encourage more to do it.
