Agreed. However I still can’t make a good faith argument as to why YouTube should be free. I too prefer not to pay but I never expected that to last forever and we’ve had a good run. I basically got a 15 year free trial and now they want me to pay for it - fair enough (I don’t yet thought)
Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers.

JW do you know how much money google actually makes off of your data?

Even that’s misleading, because Google doesn’t actually sell anyone’s data. It’s not like advertisers buy user data from google. They have a product they want to advertise to a specific audience, and by choosing to advertise on YouTube, they can tell Google to only show these ads to their specific target audience, which YouTube can do, because they know who you are and what you’re interested in.
