That’s largely because youtube native ads aren’t a reliable, predictable or consistant source of income. Plus youtube takes the largest cut of the money from those ads.
I mean I get it and i don’t blame them for doing it, but it just makes googles claim of youtube premium being “ad free” insulting. Why would I give them money when they can’t even pay their content creators consistently enough, forcing them into alternative revenue systems? I’d rather just block ads on youtube and pay my favorite creators directly.
