To be fair, the only reason why YouTube got so big and stayed relevant is THANKS to the ads. Do you think there would be incentives for creators to create good content if there wasn't as revenue?
Most of the creators have sponsored segments that's how they make money nowadays...
But not everyone does right? I feel like you have to be a fairly big/popular channel to have sponsors. I'm pretty sure smaller channels can only depend on ad revenue.
For Raids Shadow Legends, NordVPN or things like that I don't think you need to be too big, I see some videos of channels around 50k with sponsors.
Below that number of subscribers the channel doesn't get much of ad revenue anyway, most of the money goes to google anyway.
