> Creators have been squeezed dry with less and less revenue

Actually, I think Youtube is highly underrated in this regard. The reason so many creators complain about Youtube is because they're the only social media platform that pays people any substantial sum of money in the first place. For other platforms like Twitch, the money they pay you is mostly comes from the viewer. This is why MKBHD called Youtube the only S-tier social media platform.

MKBHD is in the top 1% of the top 1% of YouTubers, of course they will consider it a S tier platform.

The more interesting thing would be if they were to start all over from scratch, could they do it again with YouTube as it is today? I suspect even getting to 100k subs would just be a total roll of dice and luck now.
