level of Advertising is getting Ridiculous

So it looks like one big problem is the lack of apparent value in supporting creators. Hence why I like the token system idea for offering additional rewards for those who support creators.
I seed a bunch of (legal) torrents to give back to the community, but I would like it better if I could install an addon that prioritizes uploading to those who support the content I enjoy. And those torrents could include the content the supported creators make.

Just make sure to TURN OFF any sort of advertising for any of your videos in, say, 2 years when you get to enough subscribers to be able to enable monetization.

It is almost as if you can't imagine any other way of supporting content creators than ruining the user experience by forcing irrelevant advertising down their throats?

I haven't gone that far, but I definitely prefer to do other things with my time than viewing advertisements that are not relevant to my life or work.

How much does youtube premium red or whatever it's called actually give to creators? I did sign up once but I was hoping for more access also to films rather than just youtubes own. I mean netflix is only £5.99 a month and youtube want twice that.

I do not know why you are coming from the assumption that every content creator comes to youtube to make a living out of their videos. This is a grossly faulty assumption. Many tech and other content creators just want to share their knowledge and experience, some want a bit of recognition or fame, other reasons too. Invasive dilution of their videos with ads may hurt them as much as it annoys their viewers.
