The creators I subscribe to aren't typically large enough to hire (much less have the need for) a team. I've given them money either through watching ads or in some cases through Patreon. I realise the first pays very little, and that the second takes an unreasonably large cut. But it shouldn't have to be the only way.

You'd be amazed who has a team behind them. Lots of seemingly tiny creators have an editor and a writing partner. Even small channels have people for camera work, sound, and graphics. Bigger channels have huge teams (for example, Linus Tech Tips has 15m subscribers and has more than 80 people working on it.)
