did you just tey to pre-emptively suggest that anyone who disagrees with you is a google paid shill?
Because if so I would like to know where I can apply for my payment from Google.
I think any reasonable person knows by now that if you don't "pay for a product you sre the product", everyone knows youtube collects data and sells it and your eyes to advertisers that's their business model, guess what those servers youtube runs on? aren't free, as you yourself said, content creators aren't free, the engineers working on YouTube aren't free, so your suggestion is that despite this, youtube should still be free and ad/data collection free.
well do tell me, how long do you think youtube will last with your business model?
