While I basically agree with what you’re saying, I’d also like to point out that the money they get from you watching ads is miniscule. I don’t remember which YouTuber it was, maybe Matthias Wandell, who said that if you donate just one dollar, that’s more than they’re ever going to profit from you watching ads.
Just get youtube premium if you don’t want ads. The people you watch deserve to be paid for their work
Or even better, care about your digital privacy and ditch Google and Youtube and use an alternative front end, like invidious, or piped.

Nah, I only ever liked YouTube because it was a site where complete randoms could share stuff for free
I’m not interested in paying someone’s salary, I just want to watch people’s videos of their pets and kids and stuff like that
