Yeah, I really, really hate ads. Premium used to be a lot cheaper so I am sort of grand fathered in though I expect that won't last. I could ad block (all my browsers are ad blocked) but I would have to maintain it not only on my devices but other family members with a variety of apps, platforms, networks etc. It is easier to pay fuck off money. Bonus is that a dribble of the funds goes to creators I watch though realistically the best way to support creators is to fund them more directly if you can afford it.

Agree, I pay for Youtube Premium too because I dont want ads nor using adblockers and want to support creators. A creator that I really like released a video (something like a year ago) showing his revenue and said that the most money per view he gets was surprisingly from YT Premium views.

IMO, paying for Youtube is the most effective way to make it better or at least less ads dependent. Using a blocker just make YT more aggressive to people not using it, at the end of the day, YT need money to operate.
