Yes, but if I was only doing it for no ads, I’d rather just use ad block. Instead, I’m doing to to support the creators I watch in the laziest way possible, because I’m letting Google do all the work to spread the money out.
If you love a creator buy their merch, sub their patreon, mail them a coupon for a free sandwich, but for fuck’s sake DON’T buy youtube premium to try and support them.
I lack the money to buy something from every creator I watch (literally over 100 channels subbed to), and premium genuinely does pay them more than ads. Sure, like half is going to google, but it’s definitely the easier way to support the creators that does actually pay them.
If you buy premium, do it to support the creators you watch, fuck doing it just for no ads.
If you buy premium your doing both.

Nebula might be the answer for you. A low annual fee means every video you watch gives a portion of that fee to the artist.
The majority of the people i subscribe to aren’t on Nebula, so that wont help a whole lot.
Yeah just cutout the middle man and support creators directly
