Way too expensive (unless you are able to pay in a currency of a third world country which is what I do). They still do tracking on you. You still get sponsored ads by 'creators', so you'll need Sponsorblock as well.

For Android, consider using "NewPipe x SponsorBlock x Return YouTube Dislike" [1]

I don’t mind creators having sponsors. I skip past it if I’m not interested. How do you people expect all of this to be free?

(I've not once seen a sponsor I'd be interested in. Many of them are scams, US-centric, or just stuff I don't want/need and I certainly wouldn't be stimulated to purchase something because of a sponsorship.)

I don't expect that. I, like everyone else in this world, have limited amounts of time and money, and I'd like to spend them wisely with the tools I have available.
