I don't like the idea that my YouTube premium money just goes into a big pool that's divided among all creators whether I watched them or not. I block ads and subscribe to patreons of YouTubers I watch the most, I would probably pay a few dollars for YouTube premium.

Premium only goes to the creators you watch though and not everyone? Unless I misunderstood things or you have a source for it?

Yeah I'd much rather prefer a system when portion of the money goes to google to cover their costs, but the majority of it would be divided between the creators whose videos I've been watching during that month.

So YouTube premium then?
