It's not clear how clips will affect the YouTube ecosystem. Clips on a livestreaming platform like Twitch work because Twitch streams are hours long and not very sharable.

All of that will certainly apply to YouTube livestreams, but you'll also be able to make clips of non-livestreamed videos, too, and here YouTube differs from Twitch.

YouTubers tend to make carefully crafted ten-minute videos designed to please "The Algorithm," YouTube's recommendation engine, which is viewed as the best way of growing an audience.

If someone makes a second clip of a ten-minute video, and that goes viral instead of the video, is that good for the creator? A clip is a timestamp link to the original video, so creators will still get a view on the original video, but The Algorithm also scores creators on watch time and other metrics.

This is also going to mess with ad-reads. Bigger channels often include integrated ad-reads as part of the video, and clipping those out of a video and sharing a clip instead could harm creator income. Google says ads will appear on clips "as long as the original video is at least 30 seconds long," so there is still some way to make money, but that makes YouTubers even more dependent on Google's automatic ad program instead of third-party ad deals they can make with ad-reads.
