The way he just blew off the 50/50 split criticism was pretty gross. Basing it off of Youtube's bad-relative-to-the-rest-of-the-market 45/55 split, and then making it worse is not great, especially when coming from someone who makes YouTube content for a living.

Absolutely hilarious to compare the cost of hosting any video from anyone to a small selection of presumably handpicked pngs. Video is astronomically more expensive before even getting into the fact the successful videos subsidize the cost of hosting the petabytes of unsuccessful ones.

And then he takes even more!

there was no comparison between the cost of hosting. it was simply used as a baseline relative to market norms. your insistent on there being malicious actions taken is so odd

  1. You use something as a baseline if you think they're comparable. The cost of running a picture platform and a video platform are very different and would not justify a comparable split, much less a less favorable split. The split is unjustified by underlying platform costs and therefore greedy.

your insistent on there being malicious actions taken is so odd

  1. What are you even trying to say? It's odd to write a single comment saying that a YouTuber has an app with a poor revenue split? You're a clown
