this is why we cannot have good things... somebody thinks about making money with the content creators and the users and screws everything.

Yeah - pay the content creators.

yet what about all the people who are deprived of the content because the don't have the income to pay for it? content creator slightly worse off for hundreds of thousands if not millions of people better off seems like a fair trade to me.

If content creators don't provide ways for paying them besides ads then that's on them.

They make billions showing someone else content but will not consider paying anything for it. Something is very broken...

haha, you charge the content creators so they can share their expertise with the content consumers who then pay you!

Damn the consequences of distributed creation! It will never last! Content creators need to get paid! Why else would anyone make art?

The content creators aren't paying them, the advertisers are.

Probably because you still want the creators of content to be paid for their efforts.

Are those content creators being fairly rewarded?
