People pay for all the other streaming services, god forbid YT wants to have you as a customer instead of a product.

As long as it's a vote for Google to move away from ads (and they don't pull a hulu and start showing ads anyway), and it continues being one of the better ways to send money towards artists and creators, I'm down.

oh, you are still a product, just paying for the privilege.

Right, but the same applies to literally any other company that has graced modern earth. That's not a matter where you can still pick a candidate to vote with your wallet for, and I'm not pirating the content of honest artists and youtubers if there's an alternative.

That it's currently a step away from the fiasco that is the ad-driven internet, is a bonus. Besides, for how long is collecting marketing data on people who'd rather pay to not to be marketed to, gonna be the profitable option?
