Sure. All you said is completely true. I have a good solution: don't use YouTube then.

My comment was in response to : "You can also pay for YouTube. I do. It’s nice, not crazy expensive. No ads. Creators get paid. Everyone wins."
"then don't use youtube" is a non-sequitur to that.

You can have zero finger nails pulled out if you don't watch YouTube...

Still a non sequitur. Irrelevant. The comment claimed that paying for youtube makes it good. Not using youtube does not address the claim thst paying for it makes it good.
But there are still ads. You still get the ones the creators put in. That alone shouldn't happen, there should be a requirement for creators to upload sponsorfree vids that only premium subscribers can see. That would be a whole lot fairer.
After all the creators already get paid more for premium views.
