  • YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
  • Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

Yep.. i actually looked at Subscribing. But.. It's basically mostly amateur hour and the subscription costs a huge amount.

Even worse, I don't believe creators even get revenue until they exceed sufficient subscribers. So most people are actually paying youtube to put benefit from other people's video's which they have no involvement in.

When did this change? AIUI creators got a larger cut of YouTube premium views compared to ad share.

Not sure if its subscribers or views.. But, I tried to monitize one or two of my videos, and it wouldn't let me because I don't think I had enough views or something.
