Yep: Google alternative that shares revenue with creators

I was using averages because this model is supposed to help the "average creator", those left behind in the current Google-economy model.

"Whales" and "superwhales" (which is what as you correctly conclude this model would probably converge to too) already exist in Google-economy world so not really interesting to observe. They would just make the average creator make even less.

This person for example (from their article)

"Say, you love pancakes more than anything else in the world. Imagine getting paid to share creative recipes, take photos and instruct website visitors on how they too can make amazing pancakes."

Would make $3/month (+- order of magnitude) if Yep was ever to achieve DDG level of success.

You put "average creator" in quotes but from my reading of their site Yep has not claimed they will help the "average creator", just "creators".

If Yep shares a higher percentage of revenue with creators than Google, surely that is helping creators even if it doesn't mean you're achieving some sort of imaginary "no man left behind" standard for the average creator.
