Objectively wrong.
YouTube could not be profitable showing one quick ad per video, especially if it's longer content.
Im of the firm belief that youtube should make creators pay for storage of their videos.
Free teir for short videos, no monetization, YT places ads. Paid teir for longer form videos and monetization. This would ensure that long form videos should ideally be profitable for creators, or companies uploading their training videos etc pay a nominal fee for their storage.
This is the fairest way to keep youtube in the green.
Yeah it's very clear to me the top creators make far too much money and I agree that business model bears fruit.
However, the cost of YouTube isn't the storage, it's serving views of the videos. That payment scheme you've suggested doesn't scale well with number of views of single videos, that's why they chose to increase income per view and not per video.
this process will cause most smaller creators to just leave the platform, it's already super difficult to to get established, this would essentially force them to operate at a loss until they can get a foothold which concidering a lot of the time it can take months to years to get established? I can't see that system being sustainable either.
I know this is a controversial opinion, but I dont think youtube should be a place where small creators should expect to make money from direct monetization. That model is what brought youtube to the state its in. Selling patron, merch, or driving traffic to their own website for services, yes. Direct monetization of ads on youtube, no.
