I agree with you, YouTube is treating some of their content creators like shit, people with hugee hugee fanbases cant make a living on their platform...
I was a YouTuber for almost 3 years.... I am so disappointed to see that the platform where "I grew up" is in such a bad state... Sadly still there are people who think that Steemit is a scam, I think that a problem with that is that people got used to being soo badly treated on YouTube that a platform like DTube to them seems as too good to be truth
