You understand that what content creators get paid by the platform is never anywhere near what the platform gets paid by the advertisers...right?

Using completely made up numbers, if Mr Beast is paid $1 by Youtube for every thousand views, YouTube may be getting paid $6 or $7 by advertisers.

Otherwise the monetization would never work.

Musk doesn't have the funds or the revenue from Twitter to be able to compete with that.
