okay Google, how about this. I already pay for premium, but Im too lazy to disable my adblocker for just your site, can we just call it a draw and move on?

Youtube, I know you aren't going to read this, but could you PLEASE make it clearer in your marketing that about half the premium sub goes to the creators?

I'm not giving you £12 a month, but giving you £6 a month and giving £6 a month to creators is something I can get behind. Like, you don't need to be so antagonistic here, you can just lean into the "support creators!" aspect much, much more.

50% is ridiculous. Why not support the creators directly themselves instead of Google?

I do just that. I give $15/mo total spread out across my top watched creators on patreon and use ublock origin and sponsorblock. I dont see any ads, creators get significantly more money, I pay roughly the same as premium. Google gets nothing. Win win win.
