    I hate youtube pricing as much as the next guy, but I feel the headline is the opposite of the first line in the article:

    YouTube is telling Premium subscribers outside the US that they’ll be paying more for the service soon,

    I thought youtube was sneakily changing prices.

    Do creators make money from people that watch that have premium? That’s the only way I’d consider it.

    Who am I kidding, even if they do it’s probably pennies. That’s why they all have a Patreon and a sponsorship on every video.

      From what few creators I’ve heard talk about their income, premium users watching earns them more money than ads. But both together are nowhere near as much a Patreon.
