    Do creator even get any real amount of money from the money collected through premium?

    Buying premium seems like the dumbest shit imaginable to me.

      They do, and based on reported stats it gets them more per viewer. No idea if anybody’s audited those stats though

        Not sure about currently but at least a year or two ago creators could see the split of premium views & income vs free views and income and premium views always paid out more

          They still can. Whether premium or ad supported views pays more depends on the channel and the value of the adverts that are streamed on it. For channels / topics that advertisers are keen to appear on the ad supported views pay more, for more niche interests the premium views pay more.
