But despite all this I consistently hear from creators that YouTube is the best place to make money with content. Note, IG is the best place to simply do product placement -- like wearing and advertising a brand. But if you're doing video content YouTube is still the best place to do it, compared to IG Reels, TikTok, Vimeo, Facebook Watch, etc...

Similar to response about someone ranting against Teams -- I just don't see the huge issue with YouTube. It seems to work solidly and there are definitely people who make good money from it. Of course there is a long tail. Which is to be expected when my 9 year old nephew and half of his friends have YouTube channels. I just don't think people really have thought through at YouTube level scale what it would mean to "make things better for creators".
