Oh my, the creators get paid?!?

Oh... So no, not really...
Sounds like they're lying to me!
I don't remember which creator said it but basically by donating them even one dollar they're profiting more than if you sit thru hours and hours of ads. I guess objectively one can claim the moral high ground by watching ads but that really is like tossing bread crumbs to a beggar.
I'd really like platform like YouTube to come up with a subscribtion model that you pay like $10/month of which 20% goes to YouTube and the rest is split between the creators of which videos you have been watching. Even better if there's a way to prioritize the ones that you really want to give your support to.
You've just described YouTube Premium. Except it's $14/month now. And I don't know the numbers for how much of that goes to creators.
You can also "join" a channel, assuming that channel has it enabled.
Imagine believing you get paid to make videos on a video sharing platform. Who do those people think they are?
