Oh yeah it's like a total shocker I mean it's youtube the last bastion of freedom of speech and political neutrality You're on their terrain, the money you "earn" is only a share, a crumble of what they get, every time you give them a click you give them traffic, you support their numbers, and according to those numbers they are able to say "we are worth X, so it's going to cost X for you to advertize" I know, the spice is good, but you can't have it both ways, it comes at a price
