YT shares income from subscriptions with music labels? I didn't hear about this, and even if they shared the download must be paid much higher than a view because after downloading a person could potentially listen for a track hundred times in a row.

Youtube premium includes Youtube Music, which is alphabet's streaming service, and I assume that they are paying the same fees as everyone else.

> as everyone else

"Everyone else" do not allow to download music in an unencrypted format, so it makes sense if YT doesn't allow also.
