    Is this sarcasm? I don’t understand why they don’t need to get paid. I mean sure the hobbyist creator isn’t thinking about getting paid. But the people with the best content aren’t hobbyist, they are good because that’s all they do.

      Those “people with the best content” getting paid through ad money had lead to lots of people optimizing their content not for quality but for ad friendliness and mass compatibility.
