I honestly think that YouTube has to embrace something similar to what Twitch does with subscriptions to specific content creators where they get around 50% of the subscription cost. I personally don't value YouTube Premium because I know nothing goes to content creators except for the fact that it covers ad revenue income without showing ads.

It sounds like you might be misinformed - a YouTube Premium subscriber watching your YouTube videos is worth, IIRC, 5 to 10 times more than an ad supported view for the content creator. I know a number of content creators have indicated as much for years - I wish I could cite a specific WAN Show episode from Linus Tech Tips who I'm certain has talked about it many times.

I found this clip of Linus talking about it, but no concrete numbers: https://youtube.com/watch?v=MDsJJRNXjYI&t=420

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Uh. Half of the cost of premium gets distributed to the creators you watch, and it's a non-insignificant amount of money.

That's actually awesome then. Sad it's still not transparent with this. And I believe many people consider this strictly beneficial to google.
