The way he just blew off the 50/50 split criticism was pretty gross. Basing it off of Youtube’s bad-relative-to-the-rest-of-the-market 45/55 split, and then making it worse is not great, especially when coming from someone who makes YouTube content for a living.

    there was no comparison between the cost of hosting. it was simply used as a baseline relative to market norms. your insistent on there being malicious actions taken is so odd

      1. You use something as a baseline if you think they’re comparable. The cost of running a picture platform and a video platform are very different and would not justify a comparable split, much less a less favorable split. The split is unjustified by underlying platform costs and therefore greedy.

      1. What are you even trying to say? It’s odd to write a single comment saying that a YouTuber has an app with a poor revenue split? How?
