It's not like paying for YouTube prevents Google from hoovering up your data and using it for targeted advertising. Sure, you won't see the ads on YouTube, but you'll see them literally _everywhere_ else unless you use that adblocker.

I think tech people overestimate how much the common folk cares about privacy. I think they "superficially" cares about them but they will never, ever give up convenience for it. So that does not surprise me. But it is interesting why people refuse to spend money to avoid ads when it clearly annoyed them.

And paying for YouTube prevents Google from inserting ads -- but I find that the majority of content I see on YouTube has embedded ads from the creator as well. Ad-free isn't an option, unfortunately.
