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

      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.
