- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Sponsorship can easily get you a good 4 digit deal per video. Even for small-ish creators. 5 digits if you regularly get million plus views
Patreon is the other big one
Fun fact: yt premium views pay orders of magnitude more per view. In a world where a large percentage of viewers have premium, there would be almost no incentive for most small and medium sized channels to have sponsors in videos
This is a large part of why YT Premium is a no brainer for me.
I support creators more without having to do anything myself more than just the same watching I would do anyway.
I don't have to bother with ad blockers, I still do, but I don't need to. I don't have ads when watching from different places either like mobile or TV which are more difficult to block ads than just a browser extension.
It includes YouTube Music, so I don't have to pay for music streaming separately. Was able to cancel my Spotify and save that money, which pays for the majority of YouTube Premium.
So for basically $3 more than I paid for Spotify, I get ad-free Youtube.
I actually had no idea that creators made more money from Premium views. It was already a sub I'm happy to pay for because of how it benefits ME, good to know they benefit as well.
Yeah I remember a couple years ago Linus Tech Tips did a breakdown of their income for transparency and education. That's where I first had a creator directly mention that difference. It's something like 5x the revenue per view.
