Google keeping 45% of subscription revenue is even worse than the 15% to 30% of app subscription revenue they keep.

For reference, Bandcamp pays creators 85% to 90% of the revenue they generate.

I am guessing Youtube's bandwidth cost will be higher compared to Bandcamp but that probably does not justify keeping 45% of the revenue.

YouTube Premium offers a number of features on top of ad-free viewing including access to an entire music streaming service. It's actually a marvel that only 45% covers this.
