I watch maybe 6 YouTube videos a month. We’re talking videos shorter than 10 minutes

It’s not exactly what I’d call dedicated watching. If you think I’m going to pay $10 for maybe an hour of video, I think we just have different standards of expense.

Then I don't the 6x 5sec of ads a month should be a problem either

Their comment was not targeted at you. It's not even worth the effort for you to install YouTube Vanced, etc since you watch 6 videos a month.

Their comment was to people who watch a lot of YouTube, but still whine about the $14 cost.

This, with sponsorblock that also skips all the hardcoded ads and filler, the playtime is even shorter. Highly recommend sponsorblock and clickbait remover

What about musics? And all the videos that you indirectly watched through links on the wider internet? It is pretty impressive to only watch 60 minutes of Youtube per month, unless you consume media from other places. Otherwise, good on you for not spending as much time staring at videos.

I use Youtube to watch Frontline, PBS, news, etc etc so its not just for entertainment.
