So while creators write direct film edit and record the content, what is it that YouTube actual does aside from playing ads?

Really gets my goat as a schmuck who did a good job once, have a video with approaching 100k and counting views, and not an ice cube’s chance in hell to get a dollar of that ad revenue any time soon lol

Hosting the content, providing the bandwidth. Being a concentration point for viewers. All of which does provide value and cost money. If it didn't, there'd be a million competitors. Obvious there would be no users without content, but there also would be no content without users.
