I'm pretty happy paying for YouTube Premium; it seems like a fair deal given how much my family uses YouTube. But I'm worried that sooner or later YouTube Premium is gonna get Google Graveyarded, or they're going to insert ads anyway.
The main reason I never went for premium is that they basically do what the writers strike in Hollywood recently had to deal with: YT keeps pretty much all of the money from subscriptions and creators get almost nothing. Many saw huge drops in revenue after the program went live.
To show just how exploitative their system is: subscribing to a channel (supporting them directly) still has you seeing ads. Even white supremacist "cracker is a slur" Twitch realized the importance of not playing advertisements on the channels you sub to.
FYI, subscribing on YT is equivalent to following on Twitch, free and just for notifications. Twitch subscriptions are more like YT channel members, emotes and all.
Twitch ads are worse
Twitch is worse, in general.
At least youtube tends to crack down on the pornography on their site, while twitch features it on the front page and actively advertises it
Literally some almost completely naked OnlyFans reject on the front page, right now, doing jumping jacks to make her tits flop about.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
