I agree with him entirely, but the current problem is really that content creators need to get paid, but so do the hosts.
There are places to host that are creator-paid…the creator could also self-host. But if you want your content to be seen, you need to be in the big websites that get most their revenue from ads.
Get Patreon and Nebula bigger than YouTube and maybe more creators would host there. But that’s a bit of a prisoners dilemma.
No, they don't need to get paid. People can do things for fun and not money.
Is this sarcasm? I don't understand why they don't need to get paid. I mean sure the hobbyist creator isn't thinking about getting paid. But the people with the best content aren't hobbyist, they are good because that's all they do.
Those "people with the best content" getting paid through ad money had lead to lots of people optimizing their content not for quality but for ad friendliness and mass compatibility.
