The one and only feature they're selling (especially since they bailed on original content like 2 years after they started) is ad-free viewing. You need a price hike every 18 months to ensure the "don't show this guy ads" line in my profile config stays set to True? Fuck off. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 child) Honestly, the biggest selling point for me, and pretty much the entire reason I do have premium, is that they pay the creators you watch way more than a regular view. I guess the alternative would be to sign up to their patreons for a dollar. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago Funny you mention that. It occurred to me that the handful of things that would really make me sad to lose if I just bailed on YouTube were all things I could indeed support on Patreon. So now I'm doing that haha. I don't think my current Patreon load costs me anything more than I used to pay for Premium. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 child) They allegedly give 55% to he creators and pocket the rest... And this is AFTER paying creators fractions of a cent per view and shoving expensive ads down the huge majority of their visitors throats. They are a massively shitty company. The amount of money they steal from content creators is WILD. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago* content creators mostly cant live off it, they have promotions and brand deals that is seperate from youtube. also patreon accounts, or thier own website. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago well, doubling the minimum watches to pay people blocking ad blockers harder and halfing the rates at which they're getting paid does fit the text they gave permalink fedilink source parent [–] shirro@aussie.zone 1 point 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) Despite what their marketing says the service gets worse every time the price goes up.
