So Google and the video creators should, not just provide the content for free, pay hundreds of millions of dollars for the privilege of having you as a viewer?

I sub on patreon to creators I watch a lot, or directly on YouTube for ones who have that enabled. You can become a channel member and pay directly without Premium.

Tbh I would buy Premium if it wasn't bundled with YouTube Music for an inflated price.

Content creators deserve to be paid, even if you don't watch them often.

They they should get sponsorships. I'm not going to subject myself to YouTube ads, nor will I ever feel any amount of guilt over it.

I have to choose between an OnlyFans subscription and a YouTube subscription.

You might not have any interest in google "[having] enough to eat this Christmas", but you do have an interest in some sort of a free video platform existing.

Believe it or not, people used to put quality content online for free, for the betterment of all people (not just the paying ones), and still do their day jobs.
