YouTube pays most creators zero, treats them like serfs, and allows people to steal any money they might make if some rando says that the channel is allegedly using their song with little recourse and no interaction with humans. Creators live in fear of a strike against their account, that's wrong. I don't have too much sympathy for Google. Google only cares about advertisers and don't give a crap about creators. I'd rather (and do) pay creators directly.
