I wouldn't mind it if it weren't so insane on price. Does YouTube really get $168 of revenue per year from ad-supported users? Doubt it.

I don't, running YouTube is expensive, and Google became a trillion dollar company mainly from ad revenue, it has to be making bank for them to not have killed YouTube

I've had YouTube Music since it was Google Play Music. So I haven't had ads in about a decade or so.

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.

I used to have it as part of a family plan until Google decided that I couldn't be a part of the family plan because I didn't live with the account owner, so I thought I would just sign up for it. So I did for quite some time until I realized that I could do the same thing without paying a dime and that's what I'm doing now. This was back when it was $9.99 or something like that. I don't know how much it cost now.
