If you're still using YouTube, you clearly don't hate it that much. You just wanna bitch and moan or self loathe and self pity about it.

On top of that, YouTube isn't actively deleting videos. It's demonetizing them and removing then from top results in search.

No you don't have the right to make a living off YouTube ads.

Use an alternate platform, or grab some open source software and create your own.

Yeah, don't help the beast by feeding it your content. If you have to watch something on Youtube, you can use Invidious.

I've been using invidious and wish more people would. Then more content will originate there and it's bye-bye youtube.

Something I have wondered: If someone watches a video on Invidious, does that view count on the creator's video viewcount on YT?

I wondered the same thing. My dislike of what youtube is doing to creators of content is enough to make me overlook any guilt I feel about not giving my views to those whose efforts I admire. Let them ditch youtube and post on invidious so we can finally forget youtube.
