They do. I pay $10/mo for YouTube Premium and it literally pays for itself because otherwise I’d be watching at least an hour of unskippable ads per month.

Sure, alright, I forgot about Premium but apparently it's not making it any easier for the content creators. What I was thinking was eliminate the free version of YouTube entirely. Then, setup a system that is more healthy for creators with the revenue they generate from memberships. Perhaps it wont work but if that's the case perhaps YouTube just wont work.

UBlock origin eliminates all ads all the time. Since installing I've not had to look at, or hear an advertisement.

Except the ones that the creators speak or insert themselves.
