I’m divided on this. I happily pay streaming services for ad-free plans but I’ve never been so into YouTube that I’ve wanted to pay for it. I have it blocked outright anyway (part of my “fuck Google” blocklist collection).
Sponsorblock, ublock origin on Firefox. You’ll never see an ad again on YouTube.
There is a wealth of actual information on YouTube, it’s a decent tool once you weed past the bullshit. I wouldn’t just outright block it.
I used a VPN to turkey for 3 years to pay for premium, was $4/month for family plan. The prices are outrageous, ublock origin fixes that bullshit. My money goes to helping block more advertisers now.
And no, I’m not going to pay you for the privilege to not listen to your yapping.
