It's simple economics: Google will optimize for paying creators as little as possible and for charging me as much as possible. Instead of making the world a better place, they innovate & adapt to maximize shareholder value.

Once they get cocky, they forget about market power. Someone can provide me YouTube for a lower cost than Google? Great! Capitalism is working. Maybe Google should make less shitty products, and I'll go back to YouTube.

You have an annoying, stupid mindset. And you sound like a bot.
