YouTube premium is available in tons of countries and they have family plans. I’ve been using it for years with my wife and it’s best money ever spent.

Just pay for the content. You aren’t forced to watch those ads.

If you give Alphabet money directly, you’re just encouraging them.

To do what? Treat me more as a paying customer, and less as a product they resell to advertisers?

I’ll happily encourage them to do that.

What does that even mean? If you watch YouTube, you're just encouraging them.
