I'll spend $50/month on Patreon/Ko-fi sponsorships long before I ever CONSIDER spending a cent on YouTube Premium or sit through a single ad. I just avoid YouTube for the most part, because the entire experience has become a toxic cesspool of aggressive and predatory advertising (including sponsored plugs). Blech.
If you press "not interested" on every single clickbait video and use ublock origin and sponsorblock, it's not bad at all. I'm shocked whenever I see the site without being logged in, the entire page is filled with trash and ads and I need to scroll quite a while before finding anything I'd even consider watching.
But I do agree, paying money for that shit is stupid since there are much better ways to support creators.
