But how is it different than those of us who access it for free? I get a popup asking me to pay once a month but that's about it. Are you just happy to throw your money away if it goes to a giant corporation?

45% (which is a lot) of the money goes to the giant corporation. The other 55% gets divided up among the people whose content you watched.

I mostly watch smaller creators, so I don't mind 55% of my membership fee ending up in their pockets so they can keep making videos for me to enjoy.

I don't watch ads, the people I watch get paid because I watched. And obviously I'm not happy about the cut google takes and I would rather a higher percentage of my money go to the creators.


It's a premium service with premium features... ad-free, offline downloads... maybe you should look into it


You get rid of the ads, so it’s not exactly throwing money away.
