Why not pay creators directly through Patreon PayPal or equivalent instead of Google as well?
Who says I don’t also use Patreon?
I'm not saying you didn't, but your previous comment was about supporting premium which equals supporting a business model that thrives off of hurting creators.
It helps them, sure, but giving to creators directly is the higher road here and that's what should be done instead of buying premium.
I'm just pointing out the vibe in the room here.
exactly this. I'd rather give money directly to the creator than give it to Google and have them take most of it
