I like paying creators their due and don’t like seeing ads. Fuck me, right?

I'm not trying to criticize anyone here for their choices, I'm just curious about the actual effects of such a subscription.

As of now the most basic one is 14usd/month, how much of that money gets to the creators that you Want to support? As of the writing of this response I don't know this information nor searched about It. Do we have an actual diagram or any information saying how much are you contributing for each channel you are subscribed to?

Suppose you are subscribed to 28 channels and the sub money gets distributed evenly, that's 50 cents a Month to everyone, not much "paying their due" in my opinion.

Now if you really really want to patronize one, two or three channels, wouldn't sending money directly to them or paying their exclusive membership be a more reasonable way to go about It?
