To be clear: I prefer to pay for things instead of having to see ads but 13€ / month!? For a meta product that has inherently user-hostile design patterns even without ads?
Who does this appeal to?

Thanks for the suggestion, YouTube.
I have seen SO many acounts praising youtube premium its bonkers, I refuse to believe that many people are paying for it. ItS gOt GrEaT mUsIC AnD I cAn SuPpOrT mY fAvOuRiTe CrEaTorS. same script every time.
Fuck the music. I pay for it just so I don’t have to see any ads when I’m trying to see a 2 minute movie trailer or an hour long tutorial. Worth it.
see thats what I don't get, ublock origin just works, its free. you don't have to give google money.
Oh I use uBlock origin too. But on desktop. I very often consume YouTube on my tv and mobile. Too much work getting ad blocking to work on those.
ya thats true. I've been screen mirroring on my laptop for that but I get it if its a convenience thing. I used to pay for a bunch of streaming services until they jacked the price, I dropped almost everything after the last round of price hikes. again, mostly a convenience thing.
I’m close to dropping all streaming services thanks to IPTV.
If on Android, revanced works wonderfully. On iOS you can just use adguard and safari instead of the app. At least that's what I use and I only get ads when I use the default yt app in my oldish Hisense TV instead of casting or just my PC.
I self-host a ton of stuff, and have sailed the high seas for decades to grow my personal collection.
BUT
I pay for YT premium, netflix, and steam, so that my nephews can be on my family plans. Their life can be pretty shitty a lot of the time, and good music, games, and simple distractions help.
I've had it for years and one of the biggest features that I find worthwhile is being able to easily download videos to watch on the plane or play like podcasts when I'm driving. When I first got it, I had a really long commute, so being able to download stuff and play it with my phone screen off is helpful.
Yeah, quite frankly I watch so much that it’s just worth it. I don’t use other streaming services, so it’s fine for me.
Shrug, I spend $22 for family. It is a fantastic value when you get music+yt for the whole family.
You can believe whatever you want. Google Music sent me a free Nest Mini back in the day, and paying for YouTube Pro is right now the cheapest way of having voice activated ad-free playlists on it.
But feel free to give me an alternative "script" that gets similar functionality for cheaper.
