The dude crying broke my heart.
I cut cable 5 years ago. Netflix, Prime, Youtube, Soundcloud, Reasontalk , Reddit, etc.
Youtube is losing, bleeding money. They need to make money somehow. I don't know if the solution is to turn itself into television all over again. Direct sponsorship is a cool idea, if you keep the creators on youtube. Logan Paul is Youtube now. This is perfectly fine, but there is so much he can do before he breaks his mind (can't be fresh everyday, you get older), or the law (Nippon Stunt).
Que sera sera.
