+1 on this. YT premium is easily worth 4x its price, it's an amazing deal. It's the largest media catalog in the world, and unlimited ad-free access for $12 is a steal. There is no digital subscription that comes close in value.
And is it really worth 4x its price? I mean its just ads getting removed. I can tolerate ads easily.

From what I've seen creators say, they get more revenue from a Premium user than they would have if the user had just watched some ads.
I wish there was more transparency around what my money is actually buying.
(But any info I can find seems anecdotal, I don't think youtube publishes any numbers -- and earnings will depend on where in the world those viewers are, etc...)
