I think you’re right. Even with the same math (20 subscriptions), you’re paying only $3 more per month as a consumer. Meanwhile, each actual creator gets significantly more income per month, even after the Patreon cut: $0.70, or 304% more. Also they’re not forced to create 3 videos per month just to eat
Honestly, after sitting down and doing the math, I’m a bit disheartened. I thought I was supporting my favourite creators more with YouTube premium, but 70% goes towards subsidising the music app I don’t even use, which is insane to me. Really it should be called “YouTube music (plus ad free)” or something
