I’m happy paying a Nebula subscription, (another video site started by a group of youtubers, mostly engineering/tech/documentary types) because I know that the creators are getting all my money after reasonable platform costs.

I won’t consider paying for YT Premium (or Spotify) until they become a lot more generous to creators, and stop their insane copyright strike algorithm and banned-words audio scanner from demonetising and hiding random videos (Jake Broe, Joe Blogs, Denys Davydov, Ryan McBeth etc are always having to edit and reupload to cut some harmless snippet) and whole channels (Metatron) all the time.
