Why hasn't streaming gone after YouTubers?

I think the incentives are different for Netflix and Youtube.

Youtube wants engagement so they can sell you ads, Netflix just wants subscribers, they don't care how much I watch or how engaged I am, just that I keep my subscription.

Thanks for the comment.

Wouldn't the ability to watch your favorite YouTuber be a good reason to subscribe to a service?

Perhaps, people do currently support Youtube creators using services like Patreon.
