    I’m continuing apologising for premium exclusively because it pays creators more, and more consistently. I never go on the internet without all the adblocks possible, the sight of an add makes me irrationally angry. I’m still paying for premium

        If i paid money to every the patreon of every content creator that I want to support, it’d be a lot more money than youtube premium. Better believe ill be cancelling premium the very first ad I see though.

        Doesn’t Patreon then take a cut? What’s the difference? (Fee % might, haven’t checked to be fair)

        I’m supporting one creator via Patreon and got merch from another one (and have tried channel memberships), however this doesn’t really scale.

        • merch is only really great when one needs whatever is offered anyways
        • Patreon is nice, but requires explicit effort and regular payments for each channel

        So from that perspective, having creators being payed more per-view is actually a nice, convenient effect and will cover channels that might otherwise get nothing. I’d like to have something like this for the general internet - pay some monthly fee, no more ads and websites, news sites etc all get some share (that is ultimatively more than what the ads would’ve given them in the first place).
