YouTube's relationship with creators, the source of so much success, has been turbulent
CLOSE SAN FRANCISCO - On April 23, 2005, YouTube launched with a mundane video of a man visiting the San Diego Zoo. It lasted 19 seconds and caused no shock waves. Fast forward 13 years, and the Google-owned platform has morphed into an online juggernaut that, for many Americans of a certain age, is the source for entertainment and news powered by stars that can make a mint.
Me,."Back to my thought about a Minimum Wage for Internet Blog Writers, Photographers, and Video Content Creators. Obviously it comes down to where do websites get money to pay these 'current slave employees'? Internet Ads would have to get more expensive, and these slave employees would have to get a slice of it bringing them out of Slavery.
This is not unheard of. If we decide that the internet is like TV then charging for a 30 second ad would cost $200 to $1,500 for a local ad or up to $342,000 for a national ad. So, if you have a Tide detergent ad, it could cost between 200- and $342,000 dollars. That ad money then goes into the TV stations budget for shows.
Obviously, this is tilted toward the extreme case of the Internet being like TV. But it gives you an idea of what Adsense could be charged and should be charging.
If we compare the Internet to Radio, Radio ads cost $300- $1000 dollars per ad. Almost the same as a local TV Ad. so we can make the assumption that Adsense could be making many thousands of dollars over a widely broadcasted Internet blogger pages ads, whether it is on a page of written, photo, or video content. But are they?
Adsense sites claims that each internet click on its ads is between 1 and 2 dollars Ad cost. But a lot of people do not click on these ads. They see them as reminders of things they need to get and go out and get them.
Clicking amounts to a bullshit assumption that ads are only seen by clicks. They are seen by not clicks as well. Also, Adsense can display many ads on many internet pages. It does not need to put it only on one. So you have a blanket affect over a great many pages seeing the same ad. You can't compare the internet to a newspaper. A newspaper can only show an ad in its paper. The ads Adsense displays can be shown on multiple sites, akin to how far a reach a station can broadcast out to, or akin to putting ads in multiple daily national competing newspapers.
If we take TV and Radio ads which are not clickable ads. Google should be selling blanket ads that cost between $200- $342,000 dollars. Someone is getting stiffed here. And it is the lowely content producer."

Me, "All these monetary figures, Radio, TV, Internet Ads I looked up on Google by the way!"
Me, "So, if we are talking about $200- 340,000 dollars per 30 second ad. There is plenty of money that can be spent on Blog Writers, Photo and Video Content producers and Website owners in general.
It is the fact that Google controls so much of the ad market through Adsense, that we have a slave content market. Someone needs to stand up and say, 'Google your a monopoly, on ads, and enough is enough. Either give content producers more money, basically a minimum wage, get regulated by the FCC or FTC or some U.S. government branch, or get sued in a class action suit. Because, trust me, the more games you play with content producers the more they will rise up.

I am not saying that shooting people at YouTube, like that woman shooter recently did is right, it was wrong! But there are legal means that should be tried. I am surprised no politician or lawyer has acted, yet. This could be a huge U.S. Law Case!! Since, the U.S. created the internet, we should have a say on how ads are broadcasted on it. This sets the precedent for the whole internet ad market and for content creators.
How can we have slave workers, on internet sites, in a country where capitalism is supposed to be everybody's God given right? If some people feel they can only contribute from their homes then that should be what they should be allowed to do."
