And while most other computers like your own has its own systems that makes you believe the website (YouTube) sucks, RWBY and its future incomes should obviously be on YouTube. Whether you agree to this statement or not, YouTube have been easier than just trying to sign in on certain websites in order to watch their videos.

Accessibility has nothing to do with royalty rights, YT doesn't MAKE anything, it's a platform, it WAS a great platform, it still is great from an accessibility standpoint because that is ALL they do, if they fuck that up they go out of business.

But that said, their "Business" is not showing you the video, it's selling YOU to advertisers. RT is an animation company in this case, the actual CREATORS of content, every frame is scripted and drawn/rendered, which means they need a certain amount of compensation to cover the work done in addition to overhead.

The problem is YT has been denying video makers any royalties they are rightfully owed for various reasons that have nothing to do with the product itself... as an analogy some of the shit they have pulled would be like not paying a company that made a big screen TV because the customer made it show porn in the display at the store before they bought it from the store... the store(YT) gets payed, but they essentially just stole a TV from the manufacturer(RT).
