Even if you subscribed to them all you'd still not have everything. Sailing the seas, you get everything for free or for a couple dollars a month for a more premium experience.
Time for change.
In a word, way less free. And more commercials. All you pirates with your archives and torrents. You are Luke Skywalker here.
SmartTube on Android TV. Brilliant, makes YouTube usable, Sponsorblock baked in.
SmartTube can seamlessly delete that commercial?
