I feel like millennials can attest to this, youtube was never thought to be a legitimate money source till the more recent years. Niga Higa, JennaMarbles, Tyler Oakley (etc etc) have always said ‘ive always been aware to the fact that i could wake up one morning and youtube would be gone and id have to figure out a new job’
I think the people who were raised with youtube (genZ+) are definitely confused why this company thats been around for so long isnt actually ‘for the content creators and viewers on it’ and its actually just another capitalist driven company.
I got to give it to DropOut, Watcher, and Try Guys for trying to take matters into their own hands. But the truth is, when early creators said ‘one day youtube could disappear’ it never meant one day the site would be randomly deleted, it meant over time the model of the company would change till it favored the advertisers and ceo’s rather than the people working for them.
Its interesting to see it actually happening. As millennials i think a lot of us are surprised facebook and youtube are still around and haven’t gone the way of many many other internet social networks and platforms.

I couldn't get outta my head @/velvetroomba (on twitter)'s hilarious Ace Attorney x Jenna Marbles crossover of Ivana BeTall, a witness who lies about witnessing a murder because she was secretly too short to see what happened lmao (it was fun giving a try at the games' artstyle!!)

Jenna Marbles came back to YouTube showing everyone she got a new dog. I was so happy and told everyone about the new video. But nobody knew her anymore and I showed them her channel.
Then I woke up and looked at YouTube, only to be disappointed. That she is indeed not back.

I screencapped this comment when this video was posted (late 2018) and I have honestly thought of it weekly ever since
