Liking YTtalk
H3H3 is a big brand with over 5m subscribers, they can sustain themselves from other sources. What about smaller YouTubers? What about YouTubers who already have Patreon and merchandise and still they barely get by because of adpocalypse, and now YouTube tries to screw creators even more. YouTube is restricting creators, don't blame creators for that. It's like blaming a victim of murder for not protecting themselves ,not the murderer. While the victim could potentially protect themselves better and maybe survive, in the end it's the murderer's fault that they are dead.
H3H3 is a big brand, but because of that they probably spend way more money on stuff like taxes, production, equipment, salaries for people, offices and so on. Stuff that a smaller Youtuber does not have. So the brand might be bigger, but the idea is still the same.
I am not sure what you mean with smaller Youtubers, as you were talking about fulltimers who had editors on the payroll. Those are generally not channels that make a minimum wage out of Youtube. If those channels are not able to do a succesful patreon or other alternative way of making revenue? Well, then either they are not really good at running a business or their product does not give enough value for people to pay for it. We can speculate about that all we want, but I feel like 9 out of 10 cases will probably be something in that general direction. My point is that it is possible to have a fulltime YT channel without your add revenue being a majority of your income and there are Youtubers out there that show that every single day.
As for the Youtube is restricting people discussion: you are not bringing any new arguments to the table on that one, so there is no real reason to go into that any further. Not judging you for having the feeling that they are restricting, but I just don't see any factual arguments to back up that feeling.
