Hey @TeamYouTube here's a free idea that y'all can use:
If it's not a thing already, offline downloads on Premium should count towards some form of extra compensation for independent creators on the platform!
But the download is really just time shifting their availability. Why should video a, who was lucky enough to be streamed online because the viewer had time at that time, be treated differently than another?

I don't think you can just set automatic downloads for every video that shows up in the app, so to me a download indicates a deeper interest in the creator, a part of the audience that I think is key to tap into in the attention economy.

Also... downloading a video costs YouTube more than streaming it.
