I was responding to your assertion that people get mad because YouTube takes a cut. The alternative (Patreon) also takes a cut.

People are also mad at that but sometimes less so. It seems those indirections launder the grumpy since there's not one focused place to complain. YouTube takes more because they're doing more work. It's funny cause no one seems to think YouTube deserves any munny for their technological marve of long tail content sometimes.
