Comment on YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads.

  I was under the impression that YT Premium paid creators the same per view as YT with ads. Is this not the case?

    Some creators have said that the cut they get from premium viewers is higher than that of ad based (SpiffingBrit for example, in his YouTube download exploit).

    If that still holds true is unknown.

      Linus (LTT) also said that one premium view was worth significantly more than ad based.

    I don’t believe so. As I understand it, all Premium money goes into a big bucket. Then, views/watchtime/etc. are used to calculate what percentage of the pie a given creator will receive.

      Yeah, so if you watch one creator a lot then they get a lot more

  Only issue would be getting the creators to move. That nay be more difficult than said with some. I already follow some on rumble, I only stay on YouTube as others haven’t.

  Otherwise I agree
