I simply cannot reconcile it with my conscience to not only indirectly but also directly pay a company that now practically operates according to the motto "be evil".

I don't think Google is particularly evil in the grand scheme of things. If that's the bar then there are very few companies that I can buy goods and services from.

Its more about paying the creators than Google. Premium videos are reportedly worth more to creators.
