I see a lot of negative about YT premium online but I've been using it for years.. I don't know how you can use the YT app on mobile without it.

    How about we stop pushing these alternatives that ensure creators never get paid? It’s hard work to make content, many channels are run full time. I know people hate ads, and if that’s the case, just pay for Premium.

      Does premium fee go to content authors?

        Yeah. It might depend on the channel, but I saw one creator (maybe CGP Grey?) say that they make more from a YT Premium viewer than an ad-supported one

        Like with ad revenue, it's a split between content creator and Google. They're being secretive about exactly how that split works.

      If they please they can easily make content premium only instead of relying on people's willingness to see ads. If people can with a few clicks see no ads then 10-25% of people will probably do so while the majority continue to watch ads. Content isn't premium only because they have already run the numbers and they get more from the majority that watch the ads than they would by putting it behind a paywall.
