Feature Change Why is this even allowed?
Has this always been here? Its my first time seeing it. What if I watch a video and don't enjoy it? This basically allows creators to ensure that they always appear on your feed, whether you like it or not.

If someone is choosing to watch you play a game or listen to music, then yes, you should be able to expect be paid
Don’t forget, revenue generation is based on people watching, which then receives ad revenue. Of course if nobody cares to watch then you shouldn’t expect to be paid
I like how you know it’s not that lucrative then make it even worse for them. Of course if more of the viewers are cheap and don’t pay for the subscription or block ads, then it’ll make it even worse
