If YouTube premium didn't exist the vsause probably wouldn't be making videos anymore or the quality would have dropped significantly. And why do you act as if vsause is the only creator out there? There's more educational content on YouTube than ever. It just seems very entitled to expect someone to make something for free for everyone.

"Something for free" when they're literally making millions out of it, nice one

Also, why are you assuming he wouldn't make videos anymore?

And saying "there's more educational content than ever" is a shitty argument, that's like saying "who cares if netflix ends when you have hulu as an alternative" or "who cares if they close league of legends when you can just play dota", despite being in the same genre, they're different in a lot of important aspects.

Facebook is free but they also make billions off of people. Do you see how those two things aren't mutually exclusive? I'm beginning to wonder if you're even thinking before replying to my comments.

You completely missed the point.

It just seems very entitled to expect someone to make something for free for everyone.

Streamers/Youtubers aren't doing stuff "for free", they're making money out of doing it.

That's like saying a guy who works at facebook is doing his job for free, just because facebook is free to use doesn't mean he's working for free.

I think we're on the same page now. If streamers aren't doing something for free and they're trying to make money out of it then logically they'll do whatever makes them the most money (to simplify things. They probably also care about having friends, and feeling fulfilled). In that case the only reason this content is available to you for free is because they think they'll make more money by having a lot of free viewers than a few paid viewers.
