Of course, Youtube is free, unless you have a Youtube Red subscription, in which case you don't see ads.
And the fact of the matter is, the ads they do have don't produce enough revenue to support most creators.
I suppose you could argue that's because Google's cut is too high, but in Youtube's case (as opposed to, say, Apple's App Store), I feel Google is providing a substantial service—hosting, encoding, and distributing a huge amount of data.
