I dropped all my subs and only have youtube premium. I hate ads and I watch a lot of tubes. I don’t feel bad about it since they share revenue with creators.
Dude the value google gets out of creators’ videos vastly outstrips the paltry “share” they give them. If you aren’t consistently dropping multiple videos with 5-10,000,000 views a month you can’t make it And in order to hit those numbers you must resort to scummy and clickbait-y tactics. You’re lucky if you don’t burnout from the required output to make it financially viable.
Fuck google, fuck YouTube premium/ads. Freetube all day.
If you watch a lot of educational content, nebula shares half of its revenue with creators. Even if they get bought out, half of the proceeds will go to creators.
I felt bad about it so I stopped using YouTube directly/with ads because of being part of Google and too closely tied to politics/current admin. Same with Amazon, Apple, Meta, and X. My wallet is the last voice I have at this point.
Same here, though I’m slowing down on watching. My son and I love YouTube music as well, we share tunes regularly and I like the recommendation feed. I use Linux and wish there was a more libre solution, but it seems lemmy doesn’t like paying for anything whatsoever.

Damn, lemmy is over here upset that you pay for something you like and use frequently.
YouTube creators have said many times they get a lot more from a premium view compared to a regular one.

Same. I feel my family gets more than enough value out of Premium between their video, music, and other services to make the subscription worthwhile.
