  The biggest reason I pay for it is supposedly creators I watch get paid significantly more than someone who sits through ads without skipping. I also don’t really watch regular TV.

    I mean, that’s why I’m on Patreon. But fuck YouTube.

      Yeah, I know it’s not an excuse but I’m lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I’ve heard it even pays out if it’s demonetized (don’t take my word on that one though.)

        I mean, your heart is in the right place. YouTube’s just isn’t.
