No. That was my point. Don't you know their business model? The creators get a tiny share of the paid ads on their video, and they get nothing at all if there are no ads playing on their video. They can never get a share from your payment.
Where are you getting the information that YT doesn't pay out creators for Premium views?
Google claims they do. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7060016?hl=en#:~:text=How%20YouTube%20Premium%20supports%20creators,monthly%20membership%20fee%20with%20creators.
A search over Reddit would indicate creators actually make more money from premium views than regular ones, but that's hearsay.
