Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies.::YouTube's dramatic content gatekeeping decisions of late have a long history behind them, and there's an equally long history of these defenses being bypassed.

I think you would see significantly less streamers if you did that and they need streamers equally as much as they need viewers.

I bet a lot of the current top streamers would have never given it a chance if they had to pay first.

More content creators are always good, but theres also people on there just wasting resources that will never be successful. Always stream to 0-2 people.

Idk, it's a tough choice. Which is why they most likely would never use a pay to create style.
