I don’t think many people are aware that premium is used to give revenue to content creators as well. This might be the cause of some downvotes.

I agree that my favorite content creators need to eat too, and I do support them through other, more direct and tangible means like Patreon and merch.

It’s about creating the funding that allows your content creators to feed themselves.

This is not about premium being a thing. This is about virtual shinies being dangled in front of your face to manipulate you in making choices you otherwise might not, and encouraging users to spend as much time on the app as possible. Taking advantage of people that are susceptible to this kind of marketing should not be legal, but that’s just my opinion.
