At this point I'm convinced that yt just hates smaller creators.
Males total sense for them. Videos made by small creators take just as much drive space and require just as much CDN distribution, but don't give nearly as much profit or user engagement.
In essence, YouTube exists specifically because of big channels, and smaller ones are a burden to them.
makes total sense short term. makes little sense long term.
