Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I'm not paying everyone. Pretty much impossible. Here is my logic for what I'm doing on detail.

Netflix is 8 Euro a month here in Germany as a basic plan. I can share that with my girlfriend. They produce movies and then stream those to me. I use it quite often. I'm totally okay with what I'm getting for my money and pay happily.

Youtube is 12 Euro per month. I can't share that plan with my girlfriend, as it would fuck up the algorithm. Youtube hosts videos but doesn't produce content. I'm not happy with the value in getting.

Now I try to pay creators directly. Can I pay all of them? No. Can I be just? No. Is youtube just? Also no. Small creators get nothing. So I take my 5 euros and divide among creators. Next month a few others and so on. I can choose which ones, depending on how I feel about their content. I find a brilliant channel who helped me out with a project and who's got patreon? Sure, why not? Last one here was DbTech, which I'm not subscribed to.

So the difference between income for content creators is Youtube Premium: 55 percent of 12 euros is 5,4 euros, My system: about 5 euros. The only difference being how the money is divided. I try to favor smaller channels.

In the end, I believe my system is superior, as gives me more control on where I spend my money. I only try to screw over Google, because they are greedy as fuck!
