I was paying 15 USD, it's 23 USD now. That's a huge increase. Also the ad volume on YouTube has dramatically increased.

You're not even spared from baked in sponsors to the videos, so ublock origin and SponserBlock are more effective for me.

Have you looked the change in your grocery bills in that time? Prices are going up everywhere.

Because my wife has been retired for a long time, we subscribe to just about every streaming service. Whenever other services’ prices go up, I sort of resent it but not with YouTube.
It is true that “internal ads” that people place inside of their content seem to be more prevalent. I don’t see other ads on YouTube.
Pardon some humor: I laugh when non-tech friends don’t want to pay for ad-free YouTube but they will spend a ton of money every month at Starbucks.
Between lots of quality material on philosophy, beautiful background nature videos, Lex Firdman interviews, online class materials, Dust sci-fi short films, etc., etc. YouTube is probably the best value of anything I spend money for.
