Only if premium did not have ads. They show you ad videos as if they’re part of your “recommendations”. They also allow creators to get sponsorships within videos. So even the premium experience isn’t really ad-free and they tout that shit everywhere.
i would consider paying for premium if they broke out the payments properly, i don't fucking want youtube tv youtube music or whatever other bullshit is attached, just fucking get rid of the ads and charge me like 5 bucks a month and i'll fuck off.
As a YT Premium subscriber I really don't mind the sponsor sections. Money goes to the creator and a few taps and I'm back to watching. Also, I think outright banning sponsor segments is going to make creators more creative in a bad way..
I totally understand your views, although I’m paying this platform to not show me ads, that money should then go to the creators if they have to insert ads into their videos for some change. This is the platform’s fault.
I mean, it's very easy money given you already have a channel and a name dor youself. What would YT have to pay creators to not care about such easy money?
