I don't really know how people can expect YouTube to exist without some sort of income.

The age of free content is coming to a close as VC funds dry up. Serving video is expensive.

In reaction to this news from YouTube, I signed up for Premium. $12/mo for my main source of content? Easy decision.

Thats more than most streaming services cost..l

And youtube doesnt create the content.. lol

YouTube premium views pay creators a LOT more than ads. So if you care about supporting creators and the platform they run on, then premium is an easy choice.

Additionally, most people spend a lot more time in YouTube than any other streaming site, so the cost makes sense given how fucking expensive video serving is.
