They pay creators more when a person with premium is watching their videos. Ad-blockers have no relevance in this case.

Apparently ad blockers can interfere with key view metrics.

Unclear what premium uses to disburse the 55% share that goes to creators; hopefully it's not those ones.

I don't think it's likely that the ad blocker is interfering, because you need to be logged in to use premium.
