How much is it going to creators though? If the number is reasonable I’ll sign up for youtube premium now. I doubt it though. And ads for creators don’t do much, especially small channels I follow on youtube.
At this point I prefer to support the creators directly through patreon or other ways than google, who doesn’t care about either users, content makers nor anybody else except their own bottom line.
- t-writescode 3y agoAccording to this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BC3uI18oLU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BC3uI18oLU , there is a 55% revenue share with creators. So, about half of that money goes to maintaining and improving YouTube and the rest goes to the content creators themselves.
- lacrimacida 3y agoThat sounds promising. So let’s say I only watch 2 creators judiciously. Will the share of my monthly membership distribute equally to them after the maintenance cut? Let’s say maintenance and google’s cut is 50%. Will the rest of 50 split evenly between the two creators? I genuinely want to understand that. Somehow I doubt google would keep their part of the deal and not put their hand into the honey. If they did keep their word they’re basically a utility and I would not mind paying for it, I would even encourage more to do it.
