I’m not a content creator, do pay for premium, and this looks like hot garbage.
Why? (Do you pay for premium)
You are still watched and surveiled and your mostly could've gone to a third party platform instead
One for the ad free viewing. Two, premium members pay more to the creator per watch than ad viewers believe it or not.
Did it mostly for the ad removal though. Didn’t know #2 until watching a few creators explain their income on YouTube.
Neat. I’ve used freetube before as well. But I keep wondering that if I’m paying for ad free and creators get more money from my views, how do the ad-free and privacy apps benefit the people that I watch regularly?
Though, I could pay every person I watch via patron, but I watch a lot of creators and not all at the same time. It would be too expensive to support them all through patreon vs YouTube unfortunately
Well for me personally will never sacrifice my personal freedom and privacy to "support the creator." Not to say that you shouldn't donate to them but keep in mind that YouTube is terrible for privacy and it encourages dark patterns.
Creators should have other affordable ways to support them that doesn't involve the dirty JavaScript of YouTube. Additionally you should only support a handful of creators so you don't encourage the "algorithm"
There are plenty of way to have an ad free experience and you can probably support creators 1000x more if you give your money's subscription to them through patron or similar.
