I just pay the $15 a month to not get ads. The content is worth way more than that to me. I wish they would stop censoring stuff (like raw news, firearms learning channels, etc). Content warnings over just taking the videos down would be much preferred. That's really my only gripe.
- katbyte 3y agoI also pay to avoid ads AND support the creators i watch as they make more per my paid view then an ad supported view.
- Clubber 3y ago>support the creators i watch as they make more per my paid view then an ad supported view. I didn't know that. Good to know, thanks!
- Waterluvian 3y agoEither way they're making incredibly little compared to supporting them more directly like Patreon. Even Patreon takes a tasty cut. If the mental gymnastics helps, awesome. But paying Google is paying Google more than it is supporting creators.
- Clubber 3y agoOf course blocking ads doesn't support anything. >If the mental gymnastics helps, awesome. What a smarmy thing to say.
- katbyte 3y agowhat mental gymnastics? I pay to both avoid ads and support creators more. If i just watched YT with ads they would literally make less, regardless of supporting them directly. and google takes 45% of premium with 55% going to creators. feel like you are the one doing mental gymnastics
- JAlexoid 3y agoYou should also be aware, that that 45% also includes licensing of copyrighted content.
- newZWhoDis 3y agoThis. I pay to not get ads, but I absolutely despise the censorship on YouTube and can’t wait to jump ship.
