YouTube is a business with a clearly-defined business model, precisely-tracked direct metrics, and automation up the wazoo. Not a government taking taxes and dealing with human elements for which there are very few direct metrics. They can pay creators based on watch hours or some other usage metric.
But my preferred content creator could not exist without YouTube and YouTube shoulders the enormous expense of hosting videos. I don’t get why they should not get compensated for that as well.
That’s an ok justification, but I thought you were buying YouTube premium to support your content creator, not to support YouTube. YouTube premium doesn’t support your content creator.
On the other hand, YouTube is also supporting some content creators you hate…
… But at least you don’t have to watch them.

What I mean is that paying for YouTube premium is a very indirect and inefficient way to support your preferred content creator.
