Not to defend Google, but it's an exchange, isn't it? YouTube provides artists with a free platform to expose their song to the world, and in exchange Google gets to sell ads against it. Hearing the track on YT can lead me to buy an album, go see the artist live, etc. This isn't some shady maneuver by YT, you know that's the deal going in. It's up to the artist to decide if they want to make that exchange or not.
Are YT clicks like radio airplay or Spotify streams, where artists get a (meager) payment per play?
Also, don't some content creators make money off YT ads? I don't know anything about how that works, probably doesn't apply to songs, dunno.
