Because I use the YouTube app on Apple TV. It doesn’t have all the fancy stuff. Plus I want to kinda support the dozens of creators I watch without spending $120/month since they’d all be Patreon/Twitch.
I did want to say one more thing, though, but feel free to ignore.
If you’d said something like “a one time donation supports a creator more than years of Premium ever would”, I would not have argued. But what you are saying is plainly false.
Donate a single dollar once to each of your favorite creators and you’re already supporting them more than by watching with YT Premium or watching ads. The creators get a tiny fraction of the ad & subscription revenue, while YouTube keeps most for themselves - that’s who you’re really supporting with premium
It’s not that I disagree with you here, but what percentage do you think a traditional production company gets out of the ad revenue a TV station pulls?

A single month of patreon is gonna give them more money than watching all their videos with ads, you can just rotate
Paying the streaming company does not support the artist.
YouTube has a revenue split with it’s creators? Ads (and therefore Premium) are often a good part of a creator’s income?
It may not support them by a lot, but it supports them infinitely more than blocking all ads.
Most of the ones i like make their money on patreon.
Oh, lol, .world
I suppose that is so; but if you’d ask them whether they’d also rather have the ad revenue, I would assume most of them would say yes.
Ah, yes. Make fun of me for signing up with some domain when I was still clueless about Lemmy. Thanks. Really appreciate the generalisation.
I’d expect most resent the shitty split
Gladly!
No problem!
That does not prove your point of them not getting any support, though.
Im not going to keep arguing with someone from .world.
Very cool. I love discrimination.
