    If you buy premium, do it to support the creators you watch, fuck doing it just for no ads.

        I lack the money to buy something from every creator I watch (literally over 100 channels subbed to), and premium genuinely does pay them more than ads. Sure, like half is going to google, but it’s definitely the easier way to support the creators that does actually pay them.

          Nebula might be the answer for you. A low annual fee means every video you watch gives a portion of that fee to the artist.

            The majority of the people i subscribe to aren’t on Nebula, so that wont help a whole lot.

        Why not?

        If i am going to be supporting creators I think YT premium would be the way I would do it.

        YouTube Premium is super helpful in distributing money automatically to creators without needing to think about it.

        I have many many creators I tune in and out of I am not going to be trying to manage all of their patreons and trying to manage all of that.

        Honestly I have to much crap already, 99% of merch is just garbage IMO that i will never use and don’t need.

        Yes, but if I was only doing it for no ads, I’d rather just use ad block. Instead, I’m doing to to support the creators I watch in the laziest way possible, because I’m letting Google do all the work to spread the money out.
