From what most creators I’ve seen who talk about it say, premium users are worth more than ad supported users. There are more ad supported users overall than paying premium subscribers though. Pushing people to a more predictable subscription service would benefit YouTube by making it less dependent on advertisers and not as affected by ad blockers so I can unfortunately see why they are considering changes like this.
Comment on YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker
hh93@lemm.ee 1 year agoDo payouts for creators increase if people that watch them have premium? If not you are not buying it for the good content but for the service infrastructure

Which in and of itself is fine, I suppose. 👍 Depending on the price, of course.
