I'd pay money to break my Youtube addiction completely to be honest. There is good content, but I don't like the way it's served. Not just ads, but recommendations. I don't get addicted to Netflix in the same way, though I do sometimes binge watch shows. Certainly wouldn't pay for Youtube, and if they made it impossible to watch for free without ads by preventing ad blockers working I think I'd rather just quit entirely and pay for Nebula, since it focuses on the kind of content I value more and don't get as addicted to watching.
