I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.

I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.

    They’re already getting the YouTube premium revenue and I doubt that they didn’t spend at least 10 seconds advertising it in their videos.

      Oh, you have a serious source that indicate how youtube premium revenues are shared between the platform, the right holders, and the content creators, including how it is split between what you watch and what you don’t care about?

        According to the YouTube content creator ‘The Spiffing Brit’ the revenue he receives per view from YouTube premium is higher than and revenue. So obviously it does help support the creator, though I’m sure YouTube makes more money off of it.
