    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.

      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.

      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.
