projectpat72988 10/18/23 6:16:11 AM #52:	ai123 posted... YouTube gets all its content provided for free. They don't seem to feel a need to pay. Not to mention the users who dont pay are actually the more important group realistically. As if these add companies would've offered to do business with google if all the people who use the site for free weren't on the site? The site would've been nothing. They even treat their own creators like shit and STILL do. Its no different than Twitch streamers and the like. The vast majority of those people aren't giving them money. Them simply being there drives the value of the "product" up and drives them more and more traffic and more people who pay. If NO free users ever came around.
