True, but if enough people leave, then creators will start leaving as well, and that is something they do not want.

Sounds great in theory, but won't happen. The internet is too consolidated now for the majority of people to give a shit, there's people buying YouTube Premium because of all this. Look at reddit, barely a dent in it after all the fiascos, twitter is holding on too. People don't care.

Where will creators go to get those viewers back? TikTok?

They will go where the viewers go.
