I believe someone else mentioned 55% of premium revenue goes to creators. That is a fairly significant share, plus the cost of hosting content and maintaining the appliances etc etc. It seems reasonable to me for less than $5 per person per month.

If you have a favorite creator, donate to their patreon. Patreon takes far less of a cut and you get perks.

I'm on it and do have a sub, but it's for someone unrelated to YT content. If I find a channel I can't live without I'll consider it but I have super ADD taste on subject matter.

Its more then i thought but it gets split between creators you watch and its pretty vague on how that is devided, per view, based on time watched? With so many crap suggested and auto play id love to see some stats, many creators i enjoy switched to unmonitized and patriot support long before premium was a thing.

I get that hosting content costs money but that doesn't stop systems like torrentio to provide entirely free streams of literally any show in multiple variations of 4k resolution.

It doesn't have to be this way and the creators deserve much more.

But i too have a family, i understand the value in plug an play convenience, i can definitely see how its worth it you. If it works, and is affordable don't change it.

But for everyone else who may be tempted, there are great alternatives to watch and support alternatives without paying the techdragons toll.
