I mean, we are where we're at. So, unless you can prove otherwise...

Instead they could get 5$ a month from me for no ads.

They do this already. It's called YouTube Premium and they've determined it's worth more than $5 a month. My guess is the amount they decide to charge is not an arbitrary number, but one that covers their expenses based on expected engagement.

Unpopular opinion: If people either paid monthly, or they didn't run pihole, blockers, or vanced, the monthly price of YT Premium would probably be closer to your magical $5 cost. Although, honestly, I doubt you'd pay the $5 either.

To more evenly distribute the collected rainfall rather than to water just the plants sitting under the edge of each solar row? Or to use the rainfall for other farmy things?

Yeah YouTube really likes to inject videos you wouldn't normally watch into your algorithm. It's pretty annoying. I would never seek out religious videos, and never have on YouTube, yet they keep making their way into my feed. Even voting them down doesn't seem to change the frequency.
