I have seen this a lot within the community of youtube, this is really ruining small creators because yeah they may not make a whole lot of money from youtube but with the small amount of money that they do make from youtube makes a absolutely big difference! I have seen a couple of my friends who were small on youtube and the reason they got bigger is because the small amount of money that they did get either it was 20 bucks in a month or in a year could help them buy new things for their channel like (Mics, software, marketing for their channel and much more) This has made a Hugh difference allowing my friends to grow! For example one of my friends who has a couple hundred subscribers and only averaged maybe 100 views a video and up to 1-2k views on a good day he was able to buy a new mic (He's 14) so since he's this age really its hard to make money so when get got this little bit of money from his partnership he ended up taking this a buying a new mic which in return he now has over 50k subscribers and close to 70k views a video! The small creators matter too...
