MODERATORS
If you use premium, the creators still get paid by YouTube for your views. If you use an ad blocker, they don't get any money from your views.
When you see an ad on YouTube, the creator gets 55% of the revenue and YouTube gets the remaining 45%.
For some reason I doubt that's a common practice with people hellbent on not seeing ads and not paying for the service.
Color me surprised if I'm wrong about that.
I use youtube music everyday as well as downloading videos on my phone to play without wifi. So maybe I do use some premium features, which may make me biased.
I guess I have to ask the same question about freetube.
If only someone would write an article about it with those details in it.
Oh well.
