Oof I think this service is only worth it if you have a family plan and everyone helping. That is how I personally make it reasonable in terms of pricing.

It means the creators I enjoy actually get paid, whereas with adblock they don’t get any ad revenue.
The creators will see jack shit of that price increase. It’s all going into exec’s pockets. The smart ones all have Patreon or other ways of monetising their content anyway.
Sorry, I don’t see what this has to do with my comment? I was answering the question “What is the point of Youtube Premium anyway?” and said nothing about the price increase.
First one makes it worth it for me. Have you seen how many ads some videos have? It’s insane. Not interested in watching 8+ minutes of ads in a 45 minute video.
I know there are plugins, alternative apps, etc. to get the same stuff free, but I just prefer paying and never having to worry about any apps or plugins breaking. I just know it’ll be a perfect experience every time.

You may be surprised to hear that the revenue split on Premium is the same as the split on Ads: 55% of all Premium money goes directly to creators on a member viewership basis. Alphabet increasing the price of Premium does increase the money going to Youtube corporate, but the revenue structure is fundamentally designed so that creators also receive an equal raise.
I can skip the middleman and pay the creators via Patreon or whatever, no?
Careful. People here got angry at Linus from LMG when he said it’s important for creators to make money to continue paying their massive staff and bring more content.
