the real deal on SS are the extended licenses ... today i sold 1 video with extended license for 30.22$
and 3 videos for 0.50$ each 
So the extended video now earns less than the default minimum video did a few years ago.
(Anyone else remember the old days where an EL was the holy grail of image sales profit?...)
some years ago ... for 1 extended license i got more than 100 ... yes now are lower ..

yeaaahhhhh .. you tube wont pay a dime ... we should give them our videos for free 
they say: YouTube isn't facilitating payments between third-party companies and creators or other rights holders at this time.
YouTube is owned by Google. Maybe they are training Gemini for free?
not too far from reality ... maybe they have already taken videos for ai training for free from youtube users ... like the images taken from internet ... Chathgp says: As of today, there isn't an exact and official number of videos on YouTube, as the platform is constantly expanding with millions of new videos uploaded every day. However, estimates suggest that YouTube hosts over 800 million videos. Considering that around 500 hours of video are uploaded every minute (according to YouTube's official data), this number continues to grow rapidly.

Yeh just went and read the information from your link above. I'm all for charity but for those who need it, not multi-million/multi-billion dollar third-party companies. What a joke.
yes it's a joke ... more they have ... more they want ...

Doesnt surprise me. I was reading an article in a broadsheet the other day about complaints that the internet was being buried by poor quality AI imagery. I could also imagine a lot of buyers will become fed up because, lets face it, while there are some good AI images there is also a lot of rubbish and it must be a PITA wading through all that just to find something good countless times a day (image buyers for advertising agencies etc).
I was watching a Youtube video the other day (and of course I forgot who I watched now) and they claimed that Youtube is not promoting videos with AI content but rather original human-sourced content. Now that is a simplistic recollection of what was said but I see that if this is indeed the situation and online creators have identified experiencing this, whether that is on Youtube or any other platform, then the demand for AI will naturally fall.
i dont know if it's a new feature but yesterday i logged in my yt account to upload a video and there was a notice on top page saying that from now you can decide if your yt videos will be "given away" for ai training ... it's an option in the account settings ...
Yes I saw that too and your post just reminded to go check in studio settings it is not an opt out arrangement. Turns out it is set to opt in so left the check box blank. Seriously though, no earnings for creators to opt into this?
here in advanced settings ... Third-party training Allow third-party companies to train AI models using my channel content If you select this option, YouTube may share your videos with a third-party company provided that you and all other applicable rights holders have chosen to allow that company. The training permission status of all videos will be available through a publicly accessible interface. Learn more https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15509945?hl=en-GB

on the adobe stock community forum they say:
"Adobe's Buyers have been requesting this change since the advent of AI in the database. Some have threatened to cancel their Adobe Stock subscriptions because they don't want to have to sift through AI assets to find what they need. I suppose some followed through on that threat. This gives them a quicker way of accessing the Filter Panel. If Buyers are looking specifically for AI assets, they can still quickly find them."
Seems like a poor judgement call then from Adobe to clutter their database with this AI rubbish. And they put so much work in it to get it there. Apparently customers are not keen on it. Ouch...
it seems so ... buyers make the rules .. not adobe or us contributors ...

...
Over all, the collection grew 32% between the end of April 2024 and today, but the genAI portion of the collection grew 82% versus the human-made portion grew 6.1%.
...
do we have actual numbers in each case? 6% of a very large number can be much greater than 82% of a much smaller number
yes right .. .also if we consider the 80-20 law ... that the 20% gives the 80% of the profit .... and the other 80% gives the 20% of the profit ...

i agree .. the majority of AI prompters are indian/asian spammers with no creativity, lack of knowledge about the basics of photography or graphic design .. just go to the adobe contributor forum, there is plenty of indians asking why their AI art is rejected .. and if you watch their images .. .are full of errors like aliasing, noise, oversaturation etc ... also the AI makes lot of errors like missing hands, wrong illumination, absence of realism etc ... and in my opinion all the images made with AI are very similar to one another, like if they were made by the same hand ... AI is really crap ...
It's 8 years i make my graphic and now im more motivated to improve my skills and the quality of my works ... these indian/asian spammers will end their AI art soon ... on adobestock they are waiting 4-5 months for their images to be reviewed .. actually i have a 1 day time review on adobe ...

from my point of view, giving away some work for free is a way to give more exposure to my portfolio, clearly you must have a suitable ratio (portfolio/free assets) .. example 5%? 10%? ... it's called marketing... maybe some of you have slices of ham in front of your eyes and only look at their own sacred little garden, fearing that the all world will punish you if you give some assets for free ..
