And in return, YouTube serves video and pays creators.

pays creators

Not enough. Otherwise creators would not need to include their own ads which Premium users can’t hide.

It's not possible to pay enough to overcome human greed.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Not to money junkies it isn't, but to people with a healthy senses of empathy it would be.

Premium users can jump ahead to "the next part of the video most users fast forward to", which are sponsored segments most of the time

Lol Premium users pay for sponsorblock

I know this feature and use it when I’m watching on the phone. But so far it’s not available on the Apple TV app.

Even if it was enough, they would not leave money on the table.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Which is still bullshit, Youtube Premium payers should not have to sit through that crap. Pirates with sponsor block have a better experience than paying suckers

[–] MrAlternateTape@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Piracy is a service problem...

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

There was a piracy poll in Norway, and a significant percentage of people said they would stop pirating if streaming was cheaper.

[–] DoeJohn@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

would not need to include

Yeah, I bet people like MKBHD are barely surviving without sponsors!

[–] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sure, get the big ones out as an example…

[–] DoeJohn@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Of course. You said YouTube doesn't pay enough, so I'm proving you that no amount of money will ever be "enough" for some people. I wouldn't expect creators to just reject lucrative deals with sponsors because "they already have enough money from youtube".
