By now, if you or anyone you know has been in the regular habit of making their own videos, and then uploading them YouTube, then by now you’re all too aware of the advertising boycott taking place that has decreased the income streams of those content creators by up to 95% in many instances. 

If you expect to fully understand how something like this happened in the first place, or if income streams will ever recover, or if something like this can and will happen again, then first you must understand the difference between a monopoly and a monopsony.

After the video, you’ll find a recent article explaining how the YouTube boycott is being viewed from Google’s perspective, and what that means for content creators moving forward…
