    I pay for YouTube premium

    Not as bad as paying for Twitter, but close.

      The biggest reason I pay for it is supposedly creators I watch get paid significantly more than someone who sits through ads without skipping. I also don’t really watch regular TV.

        I mean, that’s why I’m on Patreon. But fuck YouTube.

          Yeah, I know it’s not an excuse but I’m lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I’ve heard it even pays out if it’s demonetized (don’t take my word on that one though.)

            Your heart is in the right place. YouTube’s just isn’t.
