YouTube premium being $14 a month is a scam. I very much doubt that they earn $14/month out of my ad viewing.

  The secret is you are probably worth MORE than $14/m in ads.

    What will coca cola pay me to sign a contract where I drink nothing but coca cola for this year under penalty of imprisonment? Think I can crack six figs?

    Based on data, this would require you to watch between 1,000 and 3,000 videos per month.

  The problem that providers like Youtube have with the "pay to remove ads" model is that the people with enough disposable income that they're willing to pay $14/month to remove ads are the same demographic of people that advertisers are willing to pay the most to show ads to. It's the same reason why if you watch TV during the middle of the day, the ads are all for medicine (paid for by your insurance), personal injury attorneys, (paid for by the person you're suing), and cash advances for structured settlements (i.e. if you already have a settlement paying $500/mo for 30 years but you'd rather have $20,000 now) rather than for anything you actually have to buy.

  As a youtube premium subscriber I don’t care if youtube earns more money this way than via ads. I simply don’t want to see ads.
