          Yes, a premium view is more valuable to YouTube’s ad impressions. I struggle to believe any of that value actually makes it into the content creators pocket.

          I much prefer subscribing to a content creator’s personal patreon (or equivalent) as opposed to lining Google’s pockets.

            Bingo, support creators you like directly so you can be sure they get the revenue instead of a portion of it after Google puts it through the wringer.

        I’m not sure about that, but I’ve heard that premium subscriber views are at least worth more than regular users to creators.
