I just think I'm irritated with watching ads enough to pay to not need to. I also think I watch multiple YouTube videos nearly everyday, so I just consider it paying $0.05 to skip the ad automatically and still support the company and creators both.

ReVanced resurrected Sync for Reddit for me, maybe I should check out what ReVanced does for YouTube.
I used revanced on sync for Reddit to keep it alive past it's death date, though I'm much more engaged with Lemmy since Sync released for it too.

Yep! The welfare cliff I believe it's called. Evidence of a poorly designed welfare system, which I think some see as a feature not a bug sadly.
But to be fair, if YouTube themselves don't make anything then the service that hosts my content creators isn't sustainable. So just getting premium feels like the most moral option all things considered, at least for me.
