      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 ;)

        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.

        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.
