Alright where are all the YouTube premium apologetics that keep appearing everytime someone discusses any sort of Ad-blocker?! What do you guys have to say now?!
I'm continuing apologising for premium exclusively because it pays creators more, and more consistently. I never go on the internet without all the adblocks possible, the sight of an add makes me irrationally angry. I'm still paying for premium
most creators have patreons or sell merch. youtube doesn't get a cut from that so you can support more directly!
Doesn't Patreon then take a cut? What's the difference? (Fee % might, haven't checked to be fair)
I'm supporting one creator via Patreon and got merch from another one (and have tried channel memberships), however this doesn't really scale.
So from that perspective, having creators being payed more per-view is actually a nice, convenient effect and will cover channels that might otherwise get nothing. I'd like to have something like this for the general internet - pay some monthly fee, no more ads and websites, news sites etc all get some share (that is ultimatively more than what the ads would've given them in the first place).
