Pay for YouTube. It’s worth it.
If only YouTube gave the creators a reasonable share.
They do, AFAIK creators get much more money from Premium viewers than ad-supported viewers. And not just relatively, sometimes in absolute numbers as well.

#23Pay for YouTube. It’s worth it.
I remember 2004, when ads on the web were incredibly annoying. There was (loud) sound, and half the information was buried under ads for certain pages. Me being a teenager back then, decided I've had enough after a late night gaming session with friends ended with a stupid website screaming in my ear to buy a new car.

If you've been paying attention to the industry you'd know we're going to have ads on the paid tier also - Netflix - Hulu - Prime (coming)
Netflix has it on their cheapest tier. Prime already has ads but for their own content only. I don't have Hulu. Either way, you can always just pirate stuff with Sonarr, Radarr, and a Usenet server account. Black Friday is coming then you can get huge discount on Usenet server account / block accounts, Torznab/Newznab server (you can use SpotWeb, too), VPN.

Since I got AdGuardHome on my network ads started to be very very very aggressive on YouTube so I just gave up and paid for it since I use it extensively during the day.

I'd consider it if it was a part of Google One for the same price

The catch is that you pay Google and not the content creators..
