Another part of the industry not worried about content producers.

Tubes rule, so they're king and make the rules. With 99% ready to stick to those rules, the few who won't comply aren't a problem for them. Because the loss in terms of content, isn't a problem.

Imagine you were selling to the the biggest Supermarket chain in the country. They will charge you for shelf space, knock your margin down to the minimum, demand special promotions, returns policy and if a product complains. There's another one to replace you.

We had this 15 years ago with people asking us to sell scenes for peanuts. We had another better market, those who didn't bent over and clenched their teeth.

This is norm for businesses, it sucks. All's fair in love and business.
