It's the most expensive streaming service subscription I have (family) but it gets 100x more use than all the others combined. I'd love to know how the fee I pay gets distributed to channels I watch though, assuming it even does.


I've asked a few streamers for their perspective, and the response is vague but more per view than ad impressions

I'm assuming this is mostly just because the ad revenue on youtube is pretty low


I forgot the source but in 2020 it was ~30% to YouTube and ~70% to creators (in watchtime proportion, if you have watched someone outside of YT partner program it will go to YouTube), but it was three years ago so I'm not sure if something have changed here.
