A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think GP is saying the the total income from Premium doesn't cover the cost of running all of Youtube, not that a single premium subscription doesn't cover that one user's costs, which it obviously does (or the people running YouTube are truly idiots).

Ah okay yeah I can see that reading. I think Premium has been growing well, so hopefully that'll change in the future!
