As a "content creator" (musician, not youtuber), thank you for paying for your media services. It's still the best way to support the people who work to create the media you consume.

I was watching Louis Rossman, and he made a pretty good point that you are better off just donating a single dollar directly to content creators you enjoy rather than subscribing to YT premium because the cut that content creators make is so small even for premium views that a dollar is far beyond whatever they would get paid for your views, like all of your views forever.

And isn't that pittance from YT Premium still more than they'd make off the ad revenue?

Yes it is. I'd rather pay the people who are creating the content directly, but I still like to support any content creators that I watch, so I pay for pro.

Well, yes, that's a valid point. The best way to support content creators is, and always will be, as directly as possible. I just meant that, in terms of support through service providers, it's better for the creators if you pay.
