Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium - eviltoast

Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.

    Premium still gives them hardly anything. Subscribing to their Patreon is better because they get all your money, minus the small fee.

        They’re better off for life if you donate the money you’d spend with yt once for each, once per month. Many will have their turns.

          That is a ton of work, especially when not every YTer has Patreon or channel memberships. Afaik, YTers do appreciate Premium views since it pays way more than ads.

      It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it’s based on watch time)
