how and explain

Watching an ad is pretty much renting the video only instead of using money you give time. It is a more indirect way of paying people for hard work.

This is some people's life style so I am gonna go ahead and say Youtube is a business and producers are its subsidiaries.

Go forget yourself, you know a lot of YouTubers put more time than just recording into their work.

Most  famous youtubers put out at least 2 high quality vids a day. These vids have gone through hours of editing, they spend the normal working hours doing this. So yes it is hard work and I dare you to make 2 high quality videos in a day if you still think otherwise.
