Obviously.

You pay or you see ads. Otherwise you're a leach that contributes nothing to the sustainability of the platform. Honestly I wish they'd be more aggressive with making people get premium.
Cut out advertisers and their ad-friendly-content demands completely. May creators more. Everyone is better off.

This is probably related to how they updated the extension system of chrome, so you can probably avoid this by switching to firefox.

Same for me. I realized easily 95% of my time watching streaming services was YouTube so Premium seemed like pretty good value for money. It was a case of playing a cat and mouse game of trying to block YouTube ads on all three of my devices or just pay for Premium and make them go away for good.

I haven't seen any ads over 15secs that weren't skippable after 5secs. The rest are either 5-10secs. Not a big deal to me. Just a minor nuisance.

The leech is Google. They didn't invent Youtube. Creators and community built it into what it's become. All Google does is swoop in to push more annoying ads every cycle to leech more money off the top from creators to shareholders that contribute nothing but negative changes to the site so they can be even bigger leeches. They already make exponentially more than needed to cover the servers.

Why is it so unbelievable that we'd pay for a streaming service like any other, when it's our go-to platform?
I spend 9 hours a day at my PC working, then often a few hours after that.
I watch a TON of youtube.

Likewise why is it unbelievable we're proselytize for a platform we like?
If I'm going to give youtube or netflix my money, youtube every time.

I want youtube to be as sustainable as possible, I want the small time creators I like to get paid better. I want advertisers to go fuck themselves.

What is your actual issue that doesn't come down to you wanting a free service without ads?

The leech is Google.

Google pays the power bills, the internet bills, and the development and administrative costs of running the platform.

How do you contribute?

They didn't invent Youtube.

Correct, they bought it like any other piece of property.

Creators and community built it into what it's become.

No you're thinking of SocialistTube where creators would be the owners and pay the bills themselves and figure out how to monetize it themselves and there would be an incredible barrier onto the platform as a creator. Which doesn't, can't, and wont ever exist.

Youtube may have been popularized through creators (creators who have been paid) but that means nothing without monetization. Views alone don't mean anything.
