I don't run an adblocker on my phone, YouTube Music is included and the creators still get paid.

  The main reason they get paid is that their income is primarily from sponsorships and affiliate links now. Youtube premium doesn't block that, and it's a much more insidious kind of ad. It makes you think you're watching somebody being authentic, when really it's a business disguising itself as an authentic person that's trying to sell you things (whether out of bias or strategy)

    I usually stick with known quantities and avoid any scummy looking channel. I have no problem watching the in video Gamer Nexus ads and don't expect paying for YouTube premium to skip those ads.

  Creators get paid MORE per stream by a premium user than an ad free user.
