Well, if you want an example, the premium subscription is not available in my country. I send a small sum (small by Western standards and pretty substantial to me) once or twice a year directly to the creators of two channels I am interested in.

Yeah, I think it's fine if you can't pay because the service provider is being dumb.

It's a whole different matter when you can pay, the service provider asks you to pay and then you release an app that deliberately bypasses that ask.

Same for me, I support channels with superchat. I think best compromise would be bitcoin miners. No ads and creators and developers earn their money.
