I think the best way to support them is through donations.

Most have links to them.

Ads are out of hand, that is why many left cable and subscription based platforms are the next thing.

Piracy is growing and that is good, it forces these greedy companies to inovate or to do better.

can't donate to all of the different creators I watch

If you use premium they get a bigger cut based on your viewing. It lets you support them more.

Exactly, that's what I do. I think that's really the best option. Support the creators and support the platform while avoiding ads. Video hosting is absurdly expensive

You are right, most could not.

I wuld say that any way to support them works, not just with money...

what other ways would help them?

Word of mouth, when possible.

It depends on the goal of the people, I follow some that mention what helps them.

it seems to me like what is probably more helpful is getting paid. With my YT premium sub all of the creators get paid some amount for my watch time (better than ad payment) and I don't see ads. It simply seems like the best solution
