I think the best way to support them is through donations.

Most have links to them.

Ads are out of hand, that is why many left cable and subscription based platforms are the next thing.

Piracy is growing and that is good, it forces these greedy companies to inovate or to do better.

can't donate to all of the different creators I watch

If you use premium they get a bigger cut based on your viewing. It lets you support them more.

Exactly, that's what I do. I think that's really the best option. Support the creators and support the platform while avoiding ads. Video hosting is absurdly expensive
