    nothing wrong with that.

    you support the people you watch without having to see ads. also, comes with YT music.

    it’s a pretty good deal

            I mean yeah if everyone would coordinate. We’re such a small minority on here it doesn’t really do anything on its own. If we got the creators themselves onboard…

            I agree. All I am saying that in the limit where we all use services that respect privacy and stay away from big tech, we still have a major issue that we currently don’t have a solution for and is very hard to avoid or eliminate completely.

      And the paying user average revenue for creators is higher than ad users. At least it was when I last looked.

        Tipping your creators 5€/month or smth is even better. No google, Amazon in between, no charges…

          yeah except if I watch a random video from somebody they wouldn’t get any money with this method.

          I can’t afford to give everyone 5€ per month

          So I’d be paying roughly $500/m + all of the random videos I watch wouldn’t see any of that.

          Edit: This reminded me that I can check how much I use it. I’ve been a YT Prem member since 2019.
