I remember reading about how much people made on YouTube, and even on ridiculously popular videos it wasn't all that much. I think Gangnam style made about 850k USD, but in the context of being one of the most popular YouTube videos at the time, it really wasn't all that much.

Exactly! ! We are worth more as human beings and creators than we realize. Sites like YouTube and the various others steal the value.
Gangnam style made a lot more than that, just most of the proceeds went to the Google Boys.
Yes, kind of my point. Proceeds not sufficiently being provided to the creators. It feels like steemit bridges that gap, IMHO.
Yeah, exactly. It "made" a lot of money, but The Big G got to keep it.
