The premium that includes youtube music does not have ads yet. I've heard the cheaper one that doesn't include music has ads, but I can't confirm that.
Tweet of someone saying "the best adblock for YouTube is a Premium sub" which has been photoshopped in a way to imply that the person who Tweeted has the occupation of "Slave"
Because I use the YouTube app on Apple TV. It doesn’t have all the fancy stuff. Plus I want to kinda support the dozens of creators I watch without spending $120/month since they’d all be Patreon/Twitch.
My father (or is it dad?) pays for YT Premium and our family uses it. I am honestly grateful for it. I mostly watch on a Smart TV from 2016, which means I can't install any of those crazy craps people recommend. I've heard the ad situation is better in Brazil
If you want to support the creators, then donating is pretty much the only option.
Every year YouTube pays the creators less and demonitizes more videos for no reason. Almost nothing from YouTube Premium is going to creators. You're basically supporting YouTube and nobody else.
