Would Youtubers be considered petit bourgeoisie since they own the means of production (a camera and an editing software) yet they still needs to sell the product of his labor to YouTube ads? (lemmygrad.ml)

I would argue that it is the video streaming service that is the real means of production, rather than the camera and software.

Disagree. Streaming serivce is a place of exchange, not production. In the same manner you could consider lets's say a city market mean of production - all those also had set of rules and take fees for allowing producers to sell their products.
