I am a long time Youtube premium subscriber. Until now, I would also recommended Youtube premium to anyone I know. Even though I prefer to not use Google products where possible, the Youtube premium product is just too good. During the last few months, a lot of the content I have seen on Youtube was from the newly demonetized channels. They even demonitzee Perun, which makes absolutely no sense. For a long time, all the creators (not just Ukraine related) are having a very difficult time due to random "demonitization", blatantly wrong copyright strikes and other "AI" related shenanigans. But it looks like they more or less were able to continue using Youtube as a platform and even make a living doing that. Now I will have much less of a reason to watch Youtube, as Ukraine related content is probaly at least half of what I watch. I am also extremely dissappointed with Google regarding their this decision to demonitize. I hope this whole saga is a mistake that will be reversed by Google shortly. Otherwise, I will cancel my Youtube Premium subscription, and start using platoforms where I pay the creator directly (i.e. Patreon). I will probably be paying just a tad more than my monthly Youtube premium subscription. But my money will go directly to the creators I want to support.
