Creators get paid by ads served and Youtube Premium watch time tracked. If you use privacy-friendly alternatives such as Piped, Youtube doesn’t count that view as eligible for payout as far as I understand. just like Youtube doesn’t pay for views by people with ad blockers.

Obviously, this is a bot, and I don’t expect an answer from it, but does anyone know if creators still get paid if a piped link is used?
