I'm sure I'll get roasted for this, but just get YouTube Premium. As much content as people tend to consume on YT, I don't know why it's the only platform people seem so against paying for. YTP views are worth more to content creators. There's no ads. And you can't get YT music with it too. Honestly, it's just a massive amount of content and nothing even comes close. I know the joke is "who would pay for YT Premium", but l, at least in my house, it gets like 10x the use of Netflix and Hulu.
The only problem with this is that more and more channels are adding native ads to their vids, and YT Premium doesn't bypass those ads
Yeah but those ads are skippable whereas YouTube ads aren't. I support YouTube creators having some control over their own income by adding native ads and not be yanked around by random YouTube policies.
I tend to watch hour-long shows with in-depth analyses from viewpoints that isn't mainstream, or in different languages from different countries, more than 5 hours per day, and YouTube premium is worth it to me.
Fair point on creators having more control - some are just more obnoxious than others. I'm also subscribed to YT premium FWIW.
