Is YouTube Getting Greedy?

[fiiv5]

YouTube used to take 30% of the ad revenue and they used to be more transparent about a creators earnings eg. you used to see how much you've made including their(YouTube's) cut. Now They are taking 45% and they are putting ads on non monetized channels videos and keeping 100% of the revenue from those ad views. They have officially become like the music industry.

Given that they have yet to make a profit for Google, how do you propose that they continue to host the videos etc, costs of servers and bandwidth etc etc. How should they pay for that?

but at the same time they continue to provide an opportunity to earn money. At least I agree with the previous comment that they also need to do business somehow to keep youtube running.
