Premium pays out to creators by minutes viewed (vs AdSense which pays out by ads viewed)

I've heard some creators say that in total, they make more money from all their Premium viewers than they make from all their AdSense viewers, even though the former are a small fraction of the latter.

This argument is repeated on other comments as well, but I think it's fundamentally a parralel fact.

YouTube giving some of the Premium money to creators doesn't make Premium a good product. If'm not that utilitarian to think any single additional penny going to some creators is good whatever YouTube takes in the process and the general impact on the the whole field.
