Sure I could but I could also just pay $8 or whatever it is and the creators that I watch get a small portion of the money. I like them tracking the videos I watch so that I can look back and find the ones I liked.
I'd love to subscribe to premium, but in my country they have disabled it. It is basically not possible to remove ads even when I want to pay, lmao. So, duck them, give me my vanced/revanced
@RagingRobot, sure you can also pay to be able to see the menu of a restaurant, to see what you might like or not. Why do you think why more and more artists put a video of theirs on YT for free and the rest move to Bandcamp to sell there?
It's because of the ads and what YT charges for the premium account, they see pennies.
If YT would pay them fairly, artists wouldn't need to undergo the beating of a concert-to-concert tour to earn their money from ticket and direct sales of their records.
