I don't have to bother with ads on desktop, TV, phone, nor on my gf's devices. I don't have to find work around, use sideloaded apps or whatever. And youtube is by far and wide my most watched platform, has been for years.
It also includes youtube music, which has been my exclusive music platforms, either to play during work, household chores, on my phone or on my Google home, or in the car.
To me, it's not even a question if it's worth it. If anything, it's my Netflix, crunchyroll, hidive subs that I should drop. They are replaced way more easily
The issue is, people are getting notices from Google for using ad blocker. Three strikes and you're not allowed to watch videos on that account anymore.
I used a VPN to sign up and pay like $2.50 US per month for it. That's worth it for no ads to me.
I get that. It's the only subscription that I pay for. But, I don't really watch TV/movies/sports. Every night, when I lay in bed the first thing I do is open YouTube on my TV. Everyone has a preference.
