> I'd guess that google is currently the single largest funder of "content" in the world, between adsense on websites and payouts to YouTubers.

Those are advertisers funding the content, not google. google is just a middleman. They generate no content and pay none of they money, they just facilitate the transaction and take a cut.

I've never seen a YouTube original I liked. It's all garbage.
