At this point I’m down with paying a monthly subscription to a creator for content. I’ve never signed up for any creator’s pattern or anything because how the system is currently set up. I know some creators switched to posting less frequently because their more frequent posting appeared to be hurting their view count due to YouTube’s algorithm. I am so willing to pay a creator directly for them to go back to making more frequent content (and content they actually enjoy and not stuff just for views)

my only issue with this is eventually people will hit a financial limit and only be able to support a few creators, leaving others without funding

I'm following over 30 youtube channels, even at $1/month per channel that would still be $30/month which is too much for me honestly. not to mention the fact I would have to manage 30 different subscriptions

I'd like a youtube premium style subscription where I can specify a group of channels and the money gets distributed to them only

this way my money isn't going to conspiracy channels, and I would only have a single subscription to manage

I subscribe to Nebula now.

Does nebula have enough content to be worth it now? I haven’t heard anyone with a sponsor spot for nebula in a few years now

I don't know how much content would be "worth it" to most people. I just subscribed for Lindsay Ellis coming back, since she's no longer uploading to YouTube due to the "git her b****, it's her time" cancelling bullshit.

If you are willing to pay... then why not yt premium ? A cut goes to google, sure, but it goes to creators, based on your watch time, without falling into having to support 1-infinite channels etc. Plus no ads without any tricks

I already pay for YouTube premium but that doesn’t change how creators make content. The YouTube algorithm and its mystery has really changed how people make content over the years. There have been people I’ve watched for 10+ years now and it’s sucks to see them have to chase the algorithm to maintain their livelihood. If I could pay a creator directly to get more content, I gladly would
