Wait so YouTube premium actually has a better pay split model (per view.)
This is a bizarre turn of events. The only reason I was interested in nebula is because I thought it was paid by my personal watch time.
No, YouTube premium is the same.
From what I’m reading it’s split based on my watch time instead of doing a global pool like Spotify. The language is confusing though
It's a bit hard to tell from the public information on the subject, but either way, it's not a per-view model - which cannot exist in a fixed-price all-access environment for practical reasons.
I'm not sure how practical it would be to do the royalty payments on an individual user consumption level, but I have little insight into the implementation here.
"better" is subjective. There's a pie, and creators get a portion of that pie depending on their portion of the volume of total views. It's a pretty fair and sustainable way for the company to pay creators decently.
So they do get paid by your personal views, but your subscription isn't individually divided. Every subscription is.
The better part comes from, they get paid more per view than from YouTube.
From what I’m reading, the pie is just my subscription and watch time. The language is confusing though, I may be wrong.
