What are you basing tour thoughts on? Also, what do you find fair about ad free youtube (which BTW I pay)?

I am paying the same for youtube, which is a platform that takes content created from others, adds ads to it and the make me pay to remove them than for Netflix, which partially produces its own content.

I sometimes think that youtube premium is the best idea to make money without doing anything else than make you think that they are helping you to clean the crap they have created.

Well, I assume creators think that Google brings value or they would simply host their videos in a CDN themselves, at least when they already have an audience. I think YouTube provides creators a reach that others can't. Probably because of the hundreds of video clients they support or the quality of the stream even in the most hostile network conditions.
