    Or alternatively, run and adblocker and literally give the creators you watch 1$ per month and you’re still supporting them 100 times more than turning on ads would, and you still get to keep some semblance of privacy.

      So your suggestion is to manage 15 subscriptions instead of one? Not every creator has a patreon or means of direct support. Not to mention some of these creators only upload once a year. And what happens when I want to watch someone new? Do I have to drop another creator to give this new person money

      If you’re watching youtube and signed into an account you said goodbye to that level of privacy so long ago that an ad blocker isn’t going to do much.
