People actually pay for this crap?
Isn’t it interesting to consider what it must be like? I cannot imagine any scenario where I would pay for this.
yea, it also lowers creators’ revenues
YT should really make a user-centric revenue system if that’s not already the case, or advertise more and be more transparent about it, it might get people to change their mind
I started whitelisting some YT channels to give ad revenue to them, but since I didn’t know if they did get money or not, I stopped.
I got it bundled with my YouTube Music subscription. Definitely worth it, especially considering you’d pay the same amount for Spotify and not get any videos
I quite enjoy YouTube premium. I was an avid Adblock/YouTube Vanced user before, but now that I am a little older and make more money, I realized it’s worth it to me to get premium. I don’t pay for any other streaming services, and YouTube is what I watch the most so I figured why not support it.
It makes me feel better knowing my money gets distributed to creators as well through YouTube. That did not happen before as I always blocked ads. Plus I don’t need Spotify if I want to stream music because I have YouTube music. And YouTube music actually seems to have more of the music I like anyways, plus I already liked finding music through YouTube channels anyways.
I’m not advocating that everyone should buy YouTube premium, I’m just saying that it can have its merits for some people.
