YouTube Premium is the best $10 I spend per month. Nowhere else can I consistently find the sort of niche content that interests me.
I prefer newpipe for $0/mo
I mean it’s just $10. People are making livelihoods based off from YouTube. I get not liking ads, but if you have the option to go ad free for a low cost, why not do it? Do you pay for any of Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV, etc.?

>if you have the option to go ad free for a low cost, why not do it?

It requires the use of a google account and there is no way to even request opting out of the accompanying data harvesting. Any "curation" or "recommendation" that would inevitably happen is also an anti-feature.

>Do you pay for any of Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV, etc.?

No
