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
That's on the creators tho, not the platform I feel like it's not an argument against paying for the platform, at least not when there are plenty of videos that don't do baked in sponsor ads.
Edit: if you exclusively watch content with baked in ads, I can see it from a purely consumer end point of view.
