It's wild to me that Alphabet/YouTube can abuse viewer/listener attention to such an extent that they can succesfully charge us to NOT see ads, calling it "YouTube Premium", while simultaneously charging advertisers Premium rates on mostly no-value-added advertising. They "train" new creators to make their livings using this ad revenue model, as though no alternative could ever exist to successfully earn from one's creative efforts.
As a creator, I'd be willing to pay YouTube to not force relentless no-value-added content interruptions into every crevice of my work (now including the pause screen, further torturing the poor viewer's senses as he/she tries to perform the simple action of pausing the video.) I'd like to give my audience the sustained-engagement experience they were searching for in the first place. And if at any point I choose to promote another business or product in my work, I would like to vet and carefully consider who/what my audience and I will give our attention to.
Of course, I don't expect this last option to ever exist on YouTube.
In my experience, these are very old school, low-hanging-fruit, churn-and-burn, ultimately unfulfilling business models for those wired to create media of value for their audiences, as well as for users/audiences wired to find and appreciate media of value.
