I sadly and with heavy heart agree :( I was among the ones fleeing from youtube change of policies.
I try my best, true is that eirhout any out of the blue random vote my posts would do but a dollar, starting to happen. But copyright infringement is a thing here and sometimes concerned the bad image the platform has starts to oay consequences. I have never shared but my own content, if a cover, not as main element of a post and deeplinked from youtube where they pay the authors. I have never used a bidbot but let us admit game is rigged. Use it one in a while to advertise something significant but what will people do if they can abuse? Sigh. I have found friends, and overall still an experiment for me... But it is undeniable there are many clear flaws not entirely being addressed.
Pd. Will continue and trust but starting to rescue my a bit neglected social network in its whole
