I think some of the revenue is shared with the creators you watch, similar to what happens when a video is monetized with advertisements. I’m not against paying for a venue to see a concert or film showing, I don’t have a problem paying for online venues. My problem is with the subconscious psychology tools of Edward Bernaysian techniques used in marketing/advertising. I also wish people were more critical of the product placement so many YouTube creators push.
Anyone who pays for YouTube Premium needs to rethink their financial decisions.

If they actually do share revenue, that definitely helps
Alphabet/Google claims to do so: “If you’re a YouTube Premium member, you won’t see ads, so we share your monthly membership fee with creators.” https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7060016?hl=en
I’m happy with it.
We watch a ton more YouTube than Netflix, Disney Plus or Apple TV in our house
