Yeah, you don't make them or creators money. You arent the customer, you are a free loader who costs them money.
Deal with it or God forbid pay.
I support the creators by buying merchandise and supporting Kickstarter etc. and others support using Patreon.
With those miniscule amounts Google pays to their creators (except the top 0.01%) I estimate that what I have brought is equal to 100-1000x of what they would have gotten from ads. And I'm no saint at supporting, there's people giving 100x more than me.
YouTube's greedy decisions are pulling me away from YouTube and towards the creator-owned Nebula platform. It's fairly inexpensive, I'm supporting creators and not Google, and there are no ads.
Tldr business did a video on their inckne sources, Nebula views get them much more money per view than YT. However YT is still their main income. I really hope Nebula picks up more popularity
I don't give a fuck about Google's bottom line
And they don't give a fuck about you bitching and lost times.
See how that works? None of your pay, don't be surprised the service sucks for you.
Get out of here Susan, I’m not paying for premium.
