    I also got YouTube premium, felt a bit rude to spend tens of thousands of hours without paying a cent.

    My main issue is demonitising the videos also stops premium revenue, which is a bit dumb. Like sure I get removing ad revenues, but if I’m a paying customer and want a share of my cost to go to whoever I’m watching, it should just do that.

      This is why I’ll never pay for Premium, but I’ll cheerfully join a creator’s Patreon or other direct subscription if I really enjoy their channel.

      There was a workaround to signuo for YouTube premium using a VPN to turkey. It makes it $3 a month. Maybe it’s 5 now with the price hike, idk. Not sure if it still works or not though
