  You…don’t believe it works like that? Ultimately a sponsor isn’t going to pay much if no one watches the spot. Advertising has always involved getting as much data as possible on how your ads are doing.

  I don’t have any one definitive link that will tell you “this is how it works”, but I’ve picked up a few things from the various discussions I’ve seen some youtubers have.

    Aren’t creators getting paid before the video’s uploaded?

    Neither will they if the platform goes bust through shitty practices.

    But in the short run, I’m not taking away anything from anyone.
