Elsevier is one of the biggest publisher of scientific magazines. Scientists are supposed to publish in those to be taken seriously as a scientist.

Most scientists publish for free, do peer reviewing for free, whilst Elsevier asks big bucks from every academic institution for the right to access those articles.

So OP thought it's an apt comparison to most YouTubers making content for almost free as YouTube profits from publishing it. I kind of agree.

Don't forget the new open-access model which has scientists pay money instead! (And not paltry sums)

Spot on, though I must admit you've expressed it more eloquently than the way thoughts form in my head.
