You’re essentially not helping the YouTube creators from the numbers they’ve given on their payout from Premium. It is incredibly small.

probably as small as the money they would get if i was watching ads. but instead of watching them with an adblocker, i just use yt premium.

as i said, i do pay for my fav creators on patreons, because if i started paying for all of them, i wouldn't have money to do anything else.

Ah I think I confused things. I must’ve responded thinking you were one of the people saying Spotify is essentially worthless to artists. Which is true in a financial sense like YT equivalent things, but yeah, you support in other ways.
