Yes, Bandwidth, servers, storage are all expensive. If everyone stopped paying or seeing ads they'd kill the product and you'd have nothing. There is no viable replacement for YouTube. Most channels would cease to exist. Only the larger ones would be able to afford to figure out how to keep going. The ladder would be pulled up for any small or new creator looking to break in.
It would suck but things would go on. I'm sure other places like tiktok would salivate at the idea of a YouTube exodus. Also there's other platforms that would gladly have, at least, subsections of YouTube. Plenty of other places to post your gaming videos.
Letting TikTok win is not good. Unless something has changed, they pay shit to creators too.
I agree with you, it was more a point of YouTube needing us more than we need them.
