    I honestly think that YouTube has to embrace something similar to what Twitch does with subscriptions to specific content creators where they get around 50% of the subscription cost. I personally don’t value YouTube Premium because I know nothing goes to content creators except for the fact that it covers ad revenue income without showing ads.

      It sounds like you might be misinformed - a YouTube Premium subscriber watching your YouTube videos is worth, IIRC, 5 to 10 times more than an ad supported view for the content creator. I know a number of content creators have indicated as much for years - I wish I could cite a specific WAN Show episode from Linus Tech Tips who I’m certain has talked about it many times.

      Uh. Half of the cost of premium gets distributed to the creators you watch, and it’s a non-insignificant amount of money.

        That’s actually awesome then. Sad it’s still not transparent with this. And I believe many people consider this strictly beneficial to google.
