    Or I can pay for YouTube premium because I watch a tremendous amount of content on YouTube and it also supports all the creators I watch at least a little bit, so I don’t have to subscribe to 25 patreons

      The nice thing about Patreon or donations is that even a one-time $1 donation (alternatively a one-month Patreon subscription at self-set price) is worth more than years of anything paid out by YouTube itself.

      Agreed. It’s actually the only streaming service I subscribe to because I get so much use out of it and at least some of that money goes to actual creators. Plus, YouTube Music has an insane library of obscure shit.

      Granted, I still use a few of those plugins, to improve the experience further.

        Yeah I had the Google play subscription for years before it got grandfathered into the yt premium package. Its kept the same price over time so I’ve just never turned it off.
