I have no idea how i’d replace YouTube in my life - sites like Reddit are one thing, but there is no current viable analogue to YouTube. Premium is pretty cheap for what it is - happy I made the decision to subscribe years ago

Yeah, but like, you can just not pay them money and get an adblocker instead.
But you’re just upset I’m calling out people being taken for a ride because you’re one of them.

There are alternative frontends for YouTube, like freetube and piped, that focus on privacy and ad free viewing. Just throwing this out there for people who can’t afford premium. Also, from my end, ublock origin still works fine on Windows 11 and Linux for ad free viewing. I still haven’t seen the popup in the OP personally, and I just use regular old non premium youtube.com with ublock and privacy badger.
If you can afford or are willing to pay for premium, then that’s not a bad way to go, either. It actually seems reasonably priced for what it is. I just don’t like to give money to google.
