Millions of creators are “dealing” with them just fine. Not sure what so hard about setting up a patreon account or coordinating with sponsors. Pretty sure it is much easier than dealing with a multi-trillion dollar corporation.
It just feels wrong he’s putting his voice behind a paywall where many people could just benefit from it if it were on YouTube.
Millions of actors get by performing in local theaters but George Clooney probably wouldn’t take that gig. Jon Stewart is not on the same level as YouTubers. I can’t imagine he’d even make half of his contract on YouTube

I get what you mean here and agree with the sentiment. I just can’t blame him for taking the significantly better deal
I am by no means hating on the man. I love his work and admire his courage to face assholes and call them out on their bullshit. Hence I want to be able to see his episodes on YouTube. And I do understand he needs to get paid. I’m just stating my point of view, no hate or judgement. Not everyone can afford subscription/wants a subscription through a huge corporation. Many, many people would be more than happy to pay the creators directly. I do. I don’t want this to spiral into an argument.
Hey now we’re not arguing here! I wholly agree with your reasoning, I was just explaining why he’d take a paywalled Apple deal over ads and patreon. I don’t subscribe to any streaming services myself

Ok good then. I really hate arguing with strangers on the internet shake hands
Because they can’t get actual content deals.
YouTube videos are a terrible source of revenue.
