      I do. I watch a lot of YouTube videos, I hate ads and use YouTube music as my primary source of music.

      I do since YouTube music is included and dislike Spotify UI.

        Have any of you heard of an adblocker?

      It’s all about the economics. Is your time more valuable than that wasted by the ads?

      If you’re watching YouTube 10 minutes a day, then it doesn’t make sense for you. Cost/benefit analysis should be done.

        You can just use an adblocker and/or a custom front end

          Eh it’s not that much if you use YouTube Music, and unlike Adblock creators get paid.

            I’d rather give creators one time donations, tbh. $5 most likely would cover everything, creators gain very little from ads per viewer/listener

      Restrictive corporate environments who do not allow for custom software installation. I pay for it but with the VPN trick. I am on vanced and sponsor block as soon as I leave the work place. Sucks but that is one of the use cases.
