first and foremost you're paying for a worse experience than just installing an adblocker.

Paying for convenience isn't the same as paying to not be inconvenienced.

I pay for Premium for a few different reasons:

  1. I don't need to even think about fighting with ad block blockers.
  2. I also get YouTube Music, so I no longer need to pay for Spotify.
  3. Premium views pay creators more than regular views.

There is clearly a value proposition or no one would pay for it. I personally don't like to reward any company using the pay to not be inconvenienced model

A lot of people would rather fight adblockers (idk, literally never been an issue for me), use xManager (oh right spotify is free) , Pay creators you like through patreon (or buy their shitty amazon links or merch or whatever)

Premium is just rewarding youtube for making their platform worse in order to sell premium and fuck that noise.
