The issue to me is cost vs benefit to creators. I do back a few of my favorite Youtubers on Patreon (actually, I pay them each more than I would pay YouTube), however, creators actually receive very little from YouTube Premium subscriptions.

They actually receive a lot more cash for per view from YouTube premium viewers compared to free ad-supported users. And it's not even close, we're talking an order of magnitude more money per view when it's youtube premium
