I pay the creators I care about, but I do it through Patreon, not Youtube. Of those $14 of Youtube subscription fees, approximately $0 would go to the creators I care about. If Youtube made some guarantee that the money I spent would only go to the creators I watch, I'd subscribe instantly.

- zootboy 2y agoThat sure sounds like they divvy up the money based on total viewership, not my individual viewership. I don't like the thought of a large chunk of my subscription money going to channels I don't personally watch.
- tzs 2y ago> If Youtube made some guarantee that the money I spent would only go to the creators I watch, I'd subscribe instantly. Do you mean that all $14 would go to creators you watch, or do you mean that whatever fraction of that $14 goes to creators after YouTube takes their cut only goes to creators you watch?
- zootboy 2y agoI meant the latter; I'm fine with Youtube getting a cut, I'm not fine with Mr. Beast getting a cut.
- Workaccount2 2y agoYoutube gives 55% of your sub to the creators whose videos you watch. It is not at all like spotify.
