I'm all for paying for the media I consume, but I will never pay for YouTube. First and foremost, I don't think they pay artists enough, which is why I buy all my music albums individually on services such as Bandcamp.

Second, I believe Google is working hard on turning the internet into a privacy violating walled garden riddled with unblockable ads, where all relevant technologies and standards are de facto controlled by them. I use uBlock and reVanced to block ads on YouTube and pay content creators through Patreon because I WANT to hurt Google financially by spending their compute resources without giving them ad impressions. I think everyone should do the same.
