I do wonder how the subs get split. Like is it just a bonus based on general stats or stats of users paying?
For me I use the phone app and on a TV so not having to setup extra ad blocking nonsense is nice. I also watch it all the time and do want to support people making content. I’ve done the Patreon thing some and tried to bounce around who I was giving a few dollars to. More convenient if the YouTube sub just benefits the people I’m watching.
My understanding is that for free users watching your content you get a percentage of the ad revenue. But views from premium subscribers earns you a flat rate not dependant on advertisements, and that flat rate is higher than what you’d get from an ad supported view.
The general consensus is YouTube is still greedy with the split , but at least they are offering more from a premium view.
The real question is if creators still need to do that dystopian self-censorship to avoid being demonetized on the subscription money even though there are no advertisers who mandate advertiser-friendly language or content.
