It's all about the economics. Is your time more valuable than that wasted by the ads?

If you're watching YouTube 10 minutes a day, then it doesn't make sense for you. Cost/benefit analysis should be done.

You can just use an adblocker and/or a custom front end

Eh it's not that much if you use YouTube Music, and unlike Adblock creators get paid.

I'd rather give creators one time donations, tbh. $5 most likely would cover everything, creators gain very little from ads per viewer/listener
