there were some comments in another post that went so far as to want all advertising banned. So for some people it truly is just "skip all annoyances, consume for free". And I see takes in this thread about how apparently everyone should be making videos as a passion/hobby.
It's either brash overrreactions, naivete on societal structures, or simply being stuck in a tech bubble (where our labor only indirectly produces value, compared to the visualizations or art or other content leveraged by tech. Hence why many can give it away).
Money needs to be made somehow, even if it is just to break even on the cost of making the video. Maybe you needed to buy something.
We see people complain about paywalls on websites, so if that started to seriously happen for videos I doubt it would go well.
