That's just not true... When you have YouTube premium, you pay the creators you watch proportionally to your watch time of their content out of your subscription. You are giving them more of your money the more you watch that specific channel.

A cap of 50% of your youtube premium goes to the creators.

Small creators are given a pittance, large creators get the lions share, even with equal watch hours.

I never mentioned premium, because yes it works like that for premium. But even for that paying them directly is better, as it avoids youtube's cut completely.
