Watching is the slowest way of learning though, particularly on youtube because they are trying to stretch eveything out.
Sorry I edited after you were beginning a response, but the contractual part is really a huge sticking point: the youtuber can be booted at any time, including forcing them to give back money AND youtube can keep showing their videos for revenue. It is predatory.
Using a third party client is still supporting youtube, because it keeps the belief they must be on youtube going. Also, if you are using a third part client, you are pretty much negating the notion that you are supporting the video maker (I hate the terms content and creator, yuck.)
What gets me is you act like other jobs are way better
At least you have an agreement, some basic work protections and can set your terms. But that is a completely different discussion. If anything youtube helps enable this problem, it simply transfers money up and pushes propaganda to keep doing it.
This is just a lack of understanding on the scope of the requirements for video hosting on the scale of YouTube.
No I understand it completely. I say take ownership and do it yourself. I can share videos from my web site (that I made) to thousands without any extra cost to me. You will say but they wont find you on a website. Ok well then we are screwed, because the idea that I am going to use my work to support youtube is not an option, they are not getting my work.
