as I understand, premium accounts are paid out per-user proportional to which channels they spend the most time watching. so if a user spends 30 minutes watching channel A and 1 hour watching channel B, and doesn't watch anything else, then channel A gets 33% of that user's subscription fee (after YouTube takes their cut), and channel B gets 67%
