paywall that finances both creation and the providing material.

Finance creation? It promotes lazy copycat contents. Even respectful (at least before their YouTube career) tech/artisan/DIYers etc are falling for the clickbait, the YouTube's basic/teen humor... I pass on the tabloid stuff.

You want to make views. use these keywords:

  • Apple
  • I spent $$$ on ...
  • AI

The thing is that platform is just a TV.
I guess content creators should also pay for their access on the platform, not just a cut on the revenue. it will enforce good/honest creation .

You might criticize the content all you want but it's another discussion for another time. The question is still it still how to finance a site like YouTube, with the content and amount of viewers it has, without ads or fees.

Your solution with content owners/creators paying for the housing of their creation is Vimeo.

Not even close to YouTube

YouTube quality can't compete with premiere television. Or even the premiere league

It's ok that you have that opinion.
