But that would be youtube pro subscriptions, right?

Because they already have all the content they watch there, and just want offline or ad-free.

Disclaimer: ditched Netflix, bought YouTube pro.

I think, It depends. As far as I know YouTube Premium is only for removing ads and music streaming. If there are movies and quality professional content on YouTube Premium, then Youtube will have a bigger advantage since both amateur and professional content creators will be on the same platform. But right now, Netflix is the place to watch most of the desired pro content when it comes to both films and tv series.

youtube is rolling out a program where you can pay your favorite creator directly(it's a sponsor button next to subscribe)
