YouTube doesn't provide the content, the people I watch do. I send them money. A youtube subscription to them, of which youtube takes a cut, doesn't disable ads -- only a second service, paid to youtube itself, does. Apparently $15/mo gets rid of ads, but $5.99 a month (less 20%, thanks youtube) actually creates the content I care about watching. Youtube has inserted themselves in the middle, and are extracting rent from both sides.
- selfhoster11 5y agoPrecisely. I want to compensate content creators for their content, and YouTube for their bandwidth, discovery and video storage with some markup on top. YouTube wants too much for what they do.
- floatboth 5y ago> youtube subscription to them, of which youtube takes a cut, doesn't disable ads This is a really stupid oversight.. Twitch did subscriptions first and there they do disable ads on the channel you subscribe to (if it has them).
- freeone3000 5y agoThis isn't an oversight. YouTube allowed this from 2018-2020, but no longer allows creators to disable ads on their channel.
