They provide a platform and some $$, (maybe a little, maybe more), as financing for you to make stuff, or promote stuff, or even to buy lunch. It’s your job to make stuff that people want to watch and help them find it. If you need to spend more than $1,000/minute to make the kind of programming you think people want, then spend it and fund it out of your own pocket or convince someone with money to invest in your vision.
