    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 ;)

      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.

      Yet amid all the whining and complaining about seemingly ALL of their business practices on a daily basis- we apparently have 100 million people willing to give them MORE money so they can continue abusing everyone that so much as even looks in their general direction.

      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.
