YouTube subscriptions are getting more premium (pricing).
Do creators make money from people that watch that have premium? That’s the only way I’d consider it.
Who am I kidding, even if they do it’s probably pennies. That’s why they all have a Patreon and a sponsorship on every video.
From what few creators I’ve heard talk about their income, premium users watching earns them more money than ads. But both together are nowhere near as much a Patreon.
It’s a thousand times better (or more) to pay them directly.
People who justify this in thid manner (“I’M pAyInG ThE CreaTOrs”) are being used by Google, and are rubes.
Just give your favorite people money directly. It’ll be 1,000 times (or more) than they get for a view or two a day.
Do not fucking pay YouTube.
But then I have to watch ads on my phone at work. YTP is just convenient. I hate it but it’s convenient.

I hate youtube pricing as much as the next guy, but I feel the headline is the opposite of the first line in the article:
I thought youtube was sneakily changing prices.

They would get shit on in court if they did that. Amazon tried with prime and was not successful.
