    Because I use the YouTube app on Apple TV. It doesn’t have all the fancy stuff. Plus I want to kinda support the dozens of creators I watch without spending $120/month since they’d all be Patreon/Twitch.

      A single month of patreon is gonna give them more money than watching all their videos with ads, you can just rotate

      Donate a single dollar once to each of your favorite creators and you’re already supporting them more than by watching with YT Premium or watching ads. The creators get a tiny fraction of the ad & subscription revenue, while YouTube keeps most for themselves - that’s who you’re really supporting with premium

        It’s not that I disagree with you here, but what percentage do you think a traditional production company gets out of the ad revenue a TV station pulls?
