I am not a content creator and do not upload anything. My use would just be as a consumer.

As a consumer, I will not use YT simply because of ads and the way they have made removing ads without a premium subscription so ridiculously difficult and time consuming.

Imo, having ads thrown in your face when you pause it, is reason enough not to use again.
