VERDICT

Should I use Studio (YouTube Studio)?

Loading - studio.youtube.com

Worth it. Low confidence: the sources reviewed contained almost nothing about YouTube Studio itself. It is free and required to manage a YouTube channel, so there is nothing to buy or skip; non-YouTube creators do not need it.

Confidence

Low. Based on 2 usable public sources; most search results for 'Studio' were unrelated (a TV show, hotels, other software).
