can't donate to all of the different creators I watch
If you use premium they get a bigger cut based on your viewing. It lets you support them more.
Exactly, that's what I do. I think that's really the best option. Support the creators and support the platform while avoiding ads. Video hosting is absurdly expensive
You are right, most could not.
I wuld say that any way to support them works, not just with money...
what other ways would help them?
Word of mouth, when possible.
It depends on the goal of the people, I follow some that mention what helps them.
it seems to me like what is probably more helpful is getting paid. With my YT premium sub all of the creators get paid some amount for my watch time (better than ad payment) and I don't see ads. It simply seems like the best solution
Thanks fpr explaining how it works!
I did not know that much about it.
