Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
Premium still gives them hardly anything. Subscribing to their Patreon is better because they get all your money, minus the small fee.
True but I can afford premium. I can't afford every single persons patreon.
They're better off for life if you donate the money you'd spend with yt once for each, once per month. Many will have their turns.
That is a ton of work, especially when not every YTer has Patreon or channel memberships. Afaik, YTers do appreciate Premium views since it pays way more than ads.
It gives them a loot more than ad watchers though. Especially on longer videos (it's based on watch time)
