The people who would pay it are the exact same people who are worth the most to advertise to.

This is why you can’t pay to get a version of The NY Times that has no ads.

And yet I can pay to not see ads on Youtube and Twitch. Is there something different about video vs written content?

I don't know about twitch, but YouTube hemorrhages money and couldn't exist independently of Alphabet.
