If you want to support the creators, then donating is pretty much the only option.
Every year YouTube pays the creators less and demonitizes more videos for no reason. Almost nothing from YouTube Premium is going to creators. You’re basically supporting YouTube and nobody else.
I pay for YouTube Premium because I use uBlock origin and Sponsor Block.
I still want to support the creators I watch without the need to Patreon any single one.
