Do you pay for YouTube Premium ?

Honestly, it was good to be able to minimise youtube, or lock my phone without it skipping. But that's LITERALLY all I was paying for!

Apparently the monetary gain for creatures is linked to video length, so it doesn't matter if you watch 100 10 minute videos, if you watch ONE 50 minute video, they'll get more of your money.

I eventually learned i actually just wanted to listen to podcasts so moved onto that for free!
