-extraction_notes: "Three new claims extracted focusing on the 189% income premium for owned-revenue creators, the quantified platform vulnerability (42% of YouTube creators at $50K+ risk), and Dropout's profitability as proof of concept. Five enrichments applied to existing claims about creator-owned infrastructure, revenue advantages, audience relationships, and value flow frameworks. Selection bias caveat included in the 189% premium claim—causal direction is unclear. Source is a statistics compilation from multiple 2026 reports (Circle, Whop, Archive.com, CVL Economics), so individual data points have varying reliability and should be treated as directional rather than precise."
+extraction_notes: "Three new claims extracted focusing on the 189% income premium (with selection bias caveat), platform dependency risk quantification (42% YouTube creator vulnerability), and Dropout's unit economics proof point. Four enrichments applied to existing claims about owned distribution, value flow dynamics, and audience relationships. The source provides strong aggregate statistical evidence that complements existing case-study evidence (MrBeast, Dropout) with population-level data. Primary insight: distribution ownership creates measurable economic advantage (189% premium) and reduces catastrophic risk (42% platform dependency). Selection bias acknowledged but magnitude suggests real treatment effect."
