YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!)
So this is some bollocks. Guess I'll be cancelling our plan since it's only used by two of us.
Current price $17.99/month, new price $32.99/month.
If they boiled the frog better I would probably have accepted a $5/month price rise, and then another later... But close to doubling in one go is a no from me dawg.

Well... I guess it helps creators at least.
Unless youtube changes their cut
That's going into Google's pocket, not the creators'.
Why do Lemmy users spread lies?
That just says that they get paid better for subscriber views, I think the other comments were talking about the price increase and whether that would be reflected in their payouts.
YouTube pays a percentage from what I've read before, so it should
They receive a 2/3 cut
I understand that revenue from a premium user's view is much higher for a creator than from a free user, but how would a 2/3 split work? Do you mean that YouTube uses 2/3 of premium revenue to pay creators?
That's my understanding of it
I prefer paying to the creator through more direct means. If you pay through Patreon, the creator receives ~80% of what you send if they don't get charged VAT.
You watch a video and sit through the ad. The uploaded of the video gets a cut. That's common knowledge this point.
