Correct. I was a "youtube partner" for many years and the income was very very low. Maybe a feww hundred bucks per year. In order to make any significant money you need millions of views each month. Now that youtube has demonitized millions of accounts in order to charge more to advertisers essentiallly, it's not a great platform for content creators in terms of earning money. Patreon and other platforms are far better imho. For people who are monetized, youtube tries to force you to put in pre and post roll ads. You have to turn them off manually when you upload a video.

Two of my friends are Youtubers and they both say that ad income is hilarious. I know one of them gets paid by his own sponsors but I'm not sure about the other one. But what I mean is: Youtuber who gets hundreds or few thousands of views won't earn that much and it's very easy to get demonetized anyway. Someone who gets tens/hundreds of thousands or millions of views will earn more, obviously, but someone who made this far will have a stable income from their sponsors. If anything, Twitch streamers have it much easier if they set up things properly.
Agreed. It's youtube trying to charge money for access to what people are accustomed to getting for free by adding some content and calling it "premium". Getting people to pay for something they consider a free resource is seldom a workable approach. It's like trying to get most folks to pay for music these days. Almost useless.

I've been receiving many Youtube invitations for some kind of premium version... It seems that they want to become some kind of Spotify. This won't be positive for content creators at all, don't you think so?
