I don’t completely mind. This is a boon to platforms like Nebula and CuriosityStream, which I think respect creators more with revenue and users with no ads. Sure it’s not free but there are no shennanigans like this.
Giving google money so they can ruin the internet for me in the future? Nah, I give creators money through pateron but google would have to stop being literally evil for me to consider giving them money.
Point being that then you’re paying youtube/Google/alphabet the money. Subscribing to creator-owned sites like nebula cuts out the middle man, gives creators a larger cut of the pie, gives them agency, and makes them less dependent on YouTube’s whims. Of course not applicable to other content on YouTube like eg big label music videos
This is the reason why nothing will change. People continue to do the “easy way out”. Keep paying the people trying to fuck over the content creators and the consumers cause it is easier than to find bullshit to satisfy your life. Good job.

If you don’t mind paying though, just pay for YT Premium?
