        I don’t have a phone except working one which doesn’t allow installation of any APKs, plus my wife also uses YT Music and YouTube family subscription

        Because I use the YouTube app on Apple TV. It doesn’t have all the fancy stuff. Plus I want to kinda support the dozens of creators I watch without spending $120/month since they’d all be Patreon/Twitch.

          A single month of patreon is gonna give them more money than watching all their videos with ads, you can just rotate

          Donate a single dollar once to each of your favorite creators and you’re already supporting them more than by watching with YT Premium or watching ads. The creators get a tiny fraction of the ad & subscription revenue, while YouTube keeps most for themselves - that’s who you’re really supporting with premium

            It’s not that I disagree with you here, but what percentage do you think a traditional production company gets out of the ad revenue a TV station pulls?

      My father (or is it dad?) pays for YT Premium and our family uses it. I am honestly grateful for it. I mostly watch on a Smart TV from 2016, which means I can’t install any of those crazy craps people recommend. I’ve heard the ad situation is better in Brazil
