I’ve only subscribed to YouTube Premium for the past two months, and I like the ad-free experience and Music streaming bundled in one price, PHP159 or $3/month. Will this probably my last? Yesterday morning, Google automatically charged me for my YouTube Premium subscription through my e-wallet service.
It was successfully deducted, but the service didn’t update its validity. Does Google want me to charge twice, or they want me to go back on uBlock Origin on Librewolf (desktop) and NewPipe on Android? lol
EDIT (2023-10-22): Google recently refunded the amount to my e-wallet. So far, my account is still active. If ever Google bans my account, then probably my domain will be banned.
For the price of YouTube premium you could support 14 different Patreons and that dollar would give each one of those creators several times more than YouTube ever will based on your viewing habits.
And let’s not forget YouTube’s built-in ways to avoid paying the creators on their site any more money than they absolutely have to.
As an Asian, online subscriptions tend to be cheaper than US. Is my PHP159 ($3) can support 14 different Patreons? E.g. RedLetterMedia’s Patreon will cost me $2 per month.
by watching YT with Premium, I support far more than 14 creators. The difference per 1k views of normal vs premium views is a couple orders of magnitude
(Plus, I also pay about 100 bucks a month for various patreon creators)
I would much rather pay creators directly via Patreon. That’s quite the amount of money. I commend you.
Fucking hell, that’s a lot of money to give away each month. Good for you!
