Is there a reasom paying them is so bad? I can spit on Reddit because they basically freeloading from user generated content(or stolen content) and strongarm everyone into working for them, but at least Youtube allow their content creator to monetize their content, even though they sometime ban one stuff but not the other(one veritasium video got demonetized due to containing suicide in the story), so paying to remove ads in both youtube and music is kinda a win for me.
Is there a reasom paying them is so bad? It’s Google.
I concede that a part of the money goes to the content creators, but I can’t reconcile paying Google with my conscience. IMO, they are the greatest danger to the Internet, pushing on all fronts to make it a corporate hellscape.
I rather use Patreon and/or Nebula to support content creators, even if it is more expensive and less convenient.

Personally, I was fine with paying for “Premium Lite”, which was reasonably priced, removed ads, and gave channels you watched some revenue.
But youtube removed this subscription tier a few weeks ago, leaving only the twice as expensive “Premium”. Since I, and I assume most others who subscribed to “Premium Lite”, has no use for the other stuff included in the more expensive tier the cost is no longer justified for me. Back to finding increasingly exotic ways of getting around their ads I guess.

I’m still using premium lite. They’ve startet to give me ads for the full premium, wich wasn’t the case some time back. But I just X out that ad and use lite as always
