    I use YouTube the most of all streaming services. Yet I don’t understand why there isn’t an affordable easy to use option, that includes no ads and a high CPM for creators.

    My understanding is YouTube premium, doesn’t highten the payout to creators, but rather just substitutes the dirt poor ad revenue per impression.

      You’re misinformed. I watch many creators who have said in their own words that Premium subscriber views make more money for them.

        All of the creators I watch say don’t bother because they just get demonitized from both and the money just winds up going to copyright trolls anyways.

      It actually does get higher revenue for content creators for the majority of your creators. Average per view is something like 5-10x vs non premium views.

      It’s based around your watch time and something like 50%? of your subscription split across the channels you watch.

      Ad impressions pay very little on YouTube.
