Who in their right mind actually pays for YouTube?
I do it for the YouTube music app. I live on Brazil and here costs something like 10us for the family tier so it's not a big deal for me.
I do. But I do it mainly to support the creators I follow. I'm not going to sign up for a bunch of patreon or channel subscriptions, but at least they can get their share of the subscription money.
Majority of people that are not nerds
Or watch it from the TV app
Also also, creators get paid more per click from premium users.
This. Also, I pay $5 for a family plan in my country.
