I pay for YouTube because it does give more revenue than watching an ad to the creators. I pay 6$ and watch hundreds of hours monthly. If it was more than that I will consider alternatives and AdBlock (what I was doing before started my sub). To each their own :)
Some do, others don’t and as someone else said i am not going to make Patreon and do monthly sub to each of them. As I said I watch hundreds of hours per month and it’s not from 4-5 creators.
For me it’s worth - I pay for the infrastructure and some support for the people I watch. If it’s free for you it means someone else is paying.
It’s still Google, which is basically just another EvilCorp Inc. Probably donating more directly to the creator would give them more money than going through Google.
It’s the equivalent of $16.50 a month where I live and that is not an insignificant proportion of my monthly income. The adverts are constantly repeating and often for products and services that are actual scams.
I firmly believe as soon as enough people pay… we’ll have to pay more or they will show us a smaller number of “specially selected” ads.

They don’t have patreon?
I don’t want to set up Patreon for every creator I’m watching. Often I just watch one or two videos from them and that’s it.

The more you pay, the more advertisers recognize you as a lucrative crowd and wanna get in your face.
