it is about usd $4 per month here to subscribes youtube premium, the same cost for a day of food + coffee + snack. what do you think?
I would sooner support content creators directly via patreon than sign up for YouTube premium or disable my ad blocker.
for now i plans to allow ads, and reduce my time on youtube. arrange my channels subscription so only watch max 4 best videos per channel per month
I think if you can live off 4 dollars a day you’re living in 1983.

In the US, yes.
I’m guessing they’re from somewhere else where cost of living may be different.
And the prices of YouTube premium, too. It’s not “about $4 per month” in the US.
If it’s only food, it’s definitely possible. Rice and beans is probably less than 50 cents a day. Then you can get some cheap chicken thighs for like 1.50 a pound. Then get some carrots, broccoli, and onions. It should cover the majority of your nutrient needs for $4 dollars a day.
CPM/RPM isn’t per day, it’s pay per 1,000 views.
it is possible here, but it kind like kills the future, loosing friends. very slow pace of living, like in 10 years if something improves, it is wise if the body still healthy haha…
Content creators have my respect and sympathy, but it’s not my fault that they use a platform owned by a terrible company. I’m not going to charge my behavior to make YouTube/Google happy.
It still baffles me that more services don’t exist/be used for automatic cross posting to different video services. Even if YouTube is the only feasible option for viewers right now, that’s not going to change unless people put in some minimal effort.
It was tried multiple times.
So far every company went out of business because the amount of content uploaded and the cost to store and distribute is not matched by the amount ofdollars from users, premium users and ads.Google operated Youtube as a loss project but kept it going for the data and market grip.

I’m fine with ads (if they are bearable) or paying for a service. As long I can use the service without running propietary programs.
I don’t want to give money for monopolistic video platform, requiring propietary program, runed by unfriendly tech giant that can turn knobs as they like on what big chunk of the world sees.
