MODERATORS
I don't completely mind. This is a boon to platforms like Nebula and CuriosityStream, which I think respect creators more with revenue and users with no ads. Sure it's not free but there are no shennanigans like this.
If you don't mind paying though, just pay for YT Premium?
Point being that then you're paying youtube/Google/alphabet the money. Subscribing to creator-owned sites like nebula cuts out the middle man, gives creators a larger cut of the pie, gives them agency, and makes them less dependent on YouTube's whims. Of course not applicable to other content on YouTube like eg big label music videos
