pays creators

Not enough. Otherwise creators would not need to include their own ads which Premium users can’t hide.

It's not possible to pay enough to overcome human greed.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not to money junkies it isn't, but to people with a healthy senses of empathy it would be.

Premium users can jump ahead to "the next part of the video most users fast forward to", which are sponsored segments most of the time

Lol Premium users pay for sponsorblock

I know this feature and use it when I’m watching on the phone. But so far it’s not available on the Apple TV app.

Even if it was enough, they would not leave money on the table.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Which is still bullshit, Youtube Premium payers should not have to sit through that crap. Pirates with sponsor block have a better experience than paying suckers

Piracy is a service problem...

[-] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

There was a piracy poll in Norway, and a significant percentage of people said they would stop pirating if streaming was cheaper.

[-] DoeJohn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

would not need to include

Yeah, I bet people like MKBHD are barely surviving without sponsors!

Sure, get the big ones out as an example…

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yea but it proves the point that you might as well take sponsors on top of whatever YouTube pays you

[-] DoeJohn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Of course. You said YouTube doesn't pay enough, so I'm proving you that no amount of money will ever be "enough" for some people. I wouldn't expect creators to just reject lucrative deals with sponsors because "they already have enough money from youtube".
