      Youtube has been free for so long that people forget that hosting all those videos costs money. They’ll pay for so many streaming services but if you make Youtube anything but a free, ad-free paradise they lose it.

        I guess. I never had nor will ever pay for premium, but isn’t there premium content? How’s that any different than paying for patreon videos of content creators? YouTube just consolidated it.

          There’s premium content, no ads, the creator gets paid significantly more for your Premium view, and bundled YouTube Music.
