  How so?

  • I enjoy so many cooking shows, tech nerds, and drag queens that post videos that make me happy on YouTube.
  • I watch on my tv primarily
  • I’m so so so happy to support the individual creators who pour their life and so much love into their work, premium pays them more per view than ad-supported views.
  • I share with some friends, and they share their logins with me. Overall, my monthly cost for video services is low.
  • Usenet everything else ;)

    This is the first I’m hearing about the content creators getting paid out of the deal. YouTube needs to do a better job of letting people know this.

      They really do. The only place I hear anyone talk about it is LTT and only during the wan show. It’s a major reason I have premium despite being the type of person who uses GrapheneOS.

        Agreed on both claims.
        His opinions and arguments may be tainted the incifent but I geniunly believe that being the case.
        Though I believe I have heard about the extra cut elsewhere on some YT channels as well.

    Because YouTube is a shit company that fleeces all of the content creators they’d be nowhere without- while simultaneously giving the middle finger to everyone that uses their service.
