Who tf is actually paying for YouTube premium?!
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
