  • I do think the 30% commission is high. But the problem I see now is, even if the gov't gets involved and mandates their rev share be lower, game publishers will absolutely not lower their prices to coincide with that.

  • Why have YouTubers ceased reuploading videos to alternative platforms around December 2023?
  • No platform pays nearly as well as YouTube does on average. If they upload to other platforms, and you watch the content on those other platforms, they’re going to make significantly less money than if you watch on YouTube. Even if there’s increased reach from uploading to multiple platforms, the creator will almost certainly make less—so there’s less than no incentive for them to upload elsewhere.
