It serves the authors content ad-free. You can choose to subscribe to authors that do not place ads or sponsored content in their videos.

When I dropped cable I started subscribing to dozens of channels and now have a pretty solid subscription list.

Many creators I follow have dabbled in different forms of monetization, and I've preferred to stick with the ones that offer patterns or other methods of supporting them.

I don't think it's fair to criticize googles product offering for the content creators choices

No, it serves the content without adding more ads of its own.

If not consuming the content I wanted is a solution, I can just solve all the problems by not using youtube. That's not really a solution.
