Also works as opposed to donating to individual Patreons and such. I still don't like a cut being taken by YT because I disagree with their business practices though. Sponsorships are the future of online media creation, I guess.

The YT ads are obviously dealt with through an adblocker.

Aha disagree with business practices, but happy to use their infrastructure to consume content, and still complaining about watching ads - ok

Yes, exactly. They don't make you pay for it, they offer it for free. So I choose not to pay for it. Besides I don't complain about their ads, I simply don't watch them.
