True, but no one is going to pay for content with production values barely above tiktok videos - which is what most of YouTube's most famous content is.

There's also the fact that YouTube is more of a social media outlet than a content creator. Its content comes from people experimenting and assuming all risks for themselves. YouTube isn't commissioning works (bar one or two notable exceptions) and the biggest risks they assume is storage space holding dud content.

Streaming services actually create, or at least license, the content they host. Therefore it makes sense for them to be paid services. YouTube itself doesn't create or license shit.
