I have found quality content. Notice how the people who work hard to make content outside YouTube's incentives need an external Patreon to fund their work? Why should I pay to fund the Mr. Beasts while the quality creators have to find funding outside the system? Also: I am sure you've seen it -- a creator you like or admire starts succumbing to the incentives, making sillier and sillier thumbnails or "experimenting" with shorter content. Of course there's great stuff on YouTube, but they exist on YouTube despite Google's best efforts to coarsen them.

The money you pay for premium goes directly to the people you watch. Don't watch Mr. Beast and he won't get your money.
