I already pay for it and will continue to do so. I have no issues spending money for a product I enjoy.

It's never enough, soon they're going to show ads even to you, a paying customer. It's happening to some streaming providers already, it's coming to YouTube too, mark my words. Online streaming is turning into cable.

I pay the content creators I enjoy. Youtube can make due with the data they harvest and sell.

I used to keep it off on sites I wanted to have revenue but everyone uses them to annoy the user into subscriptions anymore so it's not worth turning it off.

Yeah, yeah, it's all about the creators' well being.
