Agreed. Plus I know my views pay slightly more to creators than ad-supported views (and far more than ad-block views) so I can feel superior to my fellow man.

You could use an ad blocker and give even more to the creators you like via Patreon (or ideally better means).

Porque YouTube/Google gana mucho más que el dueño del canal por esa transacción, además de que lo hace explotando a cientos de miles o millones de personas en el mundo que quieren vivir de influencers.

I think it's worth it too. People are just weird about paying for a product that supports individuals creative ambitions just because a company takes a cut. Admittedly better content than streaming services most the time anyway.

I typically put children's music on YouTube when driving with my kid. Not having to shuffle with the phone to skip ads while in the car is a life saver.
