I'm with you on 2 & 3, but I don't align with 1 at all. Perhaps that's because I'm fortunate enough to have the expendable income to afford it, so it's easier for me to justify the cost.
But it's fair to say that "value the service" is kinda bullshit, I'm mostly talking about valuing the content, and paying for the service that makes it possible. I'd follow the content though, if it moved to a service with more agreeable terms.
2/ I hate ads.
3/ Google not making money from ads makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
4/ I also run and contribute to Sponsorblock because fuck your VPN ad.
Nobody "values the service" of YouTube, that's bullshit HN founder talk seeping on every other subject. The reality is, there's no other source of videos (everyone is on youtube because everyone is on youtube), ads are a scourge, and there's very little _actually worth the time_ on YouTube.
