Should youtube pay all of its content creators minimum wage?

Maybe--especially if Google is making a net profit of the video?

We have been giving away our work/crap away for years now, maybe it's time to demand a bit of money from the monopoly?

I think they could afford to give back?

(And yes--I know some people are paid Youtubers.)

I guess then google should fire all of the low performing youtubers (blocking them from the platform) and send out orders for what content each YouTuber will be making. Since they are employees of google, they should be making google approved content. I suspect most will like the old system.
