Yeah.

Most indie game devs don't make enough from it to pay rent.

Most authors don't make enough to pay rent from writing.

When we talk about copyrights, there's always an argument made in their favour which is basically 'we have to engineer incentives in order to get people to make good new stuff'. Why does that apply to copyright law but not to regulating tech monopolies like Youtube?

Does Regulating big techs work to give incentives for creators?
