    Google is triple-dipping at this point. Youtube advertisers are already paying, they want users to pay, and now they want content creators to pay. Might as well also ask their CDNs to pay at this point. Also don’t forget to have the Linux Foundation pay for the privilege of having their source code in Google’s proprietary codebase.

        Some fair points. Your convention analogy doesn’t really work though. What would happen if convention organizers started asking the talent they are booking to also pay?

        More people are catching onto the “I have altered the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further” mentality of huge corporations that have only gotten to where they are because of content creators, and it should scare Google.
