Frequently you can pay more to individual YouTubers for that service, many have Patreon or other methods of providing early ad free versions of their content.

Yes. This is a very, very good answer when it's available as an option.

I do think, though, that if the best answer to "YouTube doesn't let me do <x>" is "pay an alternate service provider instead," it might suggest a market opportunity for YouTube to provide the same service with much less friction.
