I use Invidious and take any money I’d have put into Google and put it into supporting my favorite creators, my preferred instance, and FreeTube.

I’m more than happy to “freeload” off of a multi-billion dollar ad company and support creators in a more meaningful way. And I fully support anyone who wishes to avoid the evil that is ads, even if they don’t support their creators directly otherwise. There is nothing selfish about wanting to conserve time, it’s the only currency that actually matters.
