    When we have people that can make $100k from posting a picture and billionaires who've never produced anything of tangible value it's a sign that our society is circling the drain.

    Make your videos as a hobby.
    But how many of us has found out how to fix a car problem or whatever on YouTube? How much did we pay for that knowledge? There are a lot of channels I watch for entertainment value where the creators should get paid. My issue is the provider has its own set of standards which I disagree with.

    Is knowledge something with tangible value?

    Why wouldn’t it? YouTube can be a great resource for mechanics or machinists to share tricks of the trade. Yes there’s a lot of useless stuff on YouTube but there is still information about a hobby or profession.

    That would depend on what you might believe tangible means.

    Tangible: substantial that can be touched, held, felt. Knowledge is a good thing, but not tangible.

    I can withhold my knowledge.


    I must be able to hold knowledge in order to withhold it, right?

    Also, even if knowledge isn’t tangible outside of some philosophical jabbering, the question was whether or not it has tangible value.

    Knowledge by itself has no tangible values. I can pass on knowledge, but if it's not used in a productive manner, nothing is gained. On the other hand, without knowledge of some sort, there is no production. So some amount of knowledge is required to gain a tangible value.
