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.
Comment on YouTube Premium announces 100 million subscribers
porkchop@lemm.ee 4 months agoHow 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.
