    Yes…? YouTube wants to get paid. Companies pay YouTube to play ads. You pay YouTube not to play ads. If you do that, then the companies obviously won’t be paying for that. So either you pay or the advertisers pay. Mind blown!

      Exactly. Someone has to pay for it. The infrastructure, the bandwidth the creator payouts. That all costs money. A lot of money. We can talk about if the cut Google takes is too big and if they could do with less ads or cheaper premium but someone has to pay something.

      Also happy cake day.
