...one of the best business models for creators

If that's true I'd hate to see the worst models. It's a great system until Youtube completely changes their recommendation/discovery algorithm and kills your channel, or demonetizes half of it because there's a content rule change, or you get a couple content or copyright strikes filed by a troll and your whole channel and years of your life is suddenly shut down because you can't get a human to verify anything without a lawyer. If you're Mr. Beast or Pewdiepie, Youtube is good for you. If you're a normal creator, it's an absolute nightmare of constant fear about what dystopian changes will be forced on you overnight.
