I'm sure I'll be downvoted to hell, but I just pay for Premium because I use YouTube all the time, don't want to see ads, and acknowledge that YouTube is an incredible service/product.

It's just gonna make premium more expensive because they have to recoup their engineering costs somehow and I don't think that the extra ad views from bypassing as blockers will cover it.
