  >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!

    Either 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.

      Of course blocking ads doesn't support anything. >If the mental gymnastics helps, awesome. What a smarmy thing to say.

      what 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

        You should also be aware, that that 45% also includes licensing of copyrighted content.
