The main issue with YouTube premium is the price, I can't imagine that they're making anywhere near $14 a month from showing me ads that I never click on. I'd love to see a breakdown, including how much is subsiding free users, how much is going to creators, and how much is going into the pockets of shareholders.

I think like most if not all of the people I know would easily pay $5 dollars for premium

I don't know the breakdown but I know that creators generally earn much more per premium view vs normal view.
