Also how are the creators supposed to get paid for their work if everything is free?

People here seem to think ads are just a vile cash grab from google, but in fact most of the ad revenue goes directly to the creators.

Actually, I think I like the old YouTube where people didn't really make money from the videos posted. That way there's more people posting and it doesn't become a sickening view of the same asshole pouring vinegar into soda or whatever that's all about. Makes me wanna puke 🤮🤢🤮.
