Okay I’ll bite. I pay for YouTube Premium and likely will continue to. I rarely watch it on my phone or on a computer, about 95% of my viewing is on a chromecast with android tv or directly from tizen on my samsung tv; so besides some now defunct sideloaded apks on the chromecast, I’m stuck with the native app. And overall yt accounts for about 75-80% of my households streaming on a tv.
I hate ads enough to hand google my money directly. And then part (most, according to google at least) of that goes to the creators that we watch. I think it’s a fair enough trade, but happy to hear conflicting opinions!

By all means, you do you…but if I were watching that much yt, I’d probably want to upgrade to a Shield or something else I could slap
SmartTube on and stop the recurring/increasing payments.
Nvidia shield is bizarrely expensive in my country. Like 50% more expensive than the most expensive Apple TV 4K. Also the method you describe means creators don’t get a cent either. But definitely worth looking into smarttube if I can support creators directly, thanks.
