          Yeah, I wasn’t trying to be rude though I get that the pic without context came off pretty odd. I was just trying to illustrate to others how it would actually be worth not having ads blasted in your face for 7000 hours.

          If premium turns ad-supported I will re-evaluate my decision, of course.

              Another part of the equation for me is that the creators get a larger piece of the cash pie. YouTube still gets their cut from the premium membership, just as it does with ads. But the piece that otherwise goes to the the ad budget goes to the creator instead.
