> you theoretically can create $2 per month Premium and still have big profits. That doesn't follow. You're making three unfounded assumptions there: - That YouTube is currently making big profits. - That every user is the same value - That ever user pays the same amount for a YT Premium subscriptions. But in reality we only know YT's revenue, not their profit (or even whether it's a profit rather than a loss). We know for a fact that not every user is of the same value; the ad revenue from the average user in say US is far higher than that of the average user in Turkey. And in what is almost certainly not a coincidence, the price of YT Premium in the US is far higher than for those in Turkey.
