    So your suggestion is to manage 15 subscriptions instead of one? Not every creator has a patreon or means of direct support. Not to mention some of these creators only upload once a year. And what happens when I want to watch someone new? Do I have to drop another creator to give this new person money

    If you’re watching youtube and signed into an account you said goodbye to that level of privacy so long ago that an ad blocker isn’t going to do much.

      Buying premium would absolutely do more than turning on ads, but it still would be nowhere near the efficacy of direct support. Most creators have methods of direct support, and those that don’t can easily be petitioned to start. For a creator that uploads once a year, perhaps you donate once per upload. Also, I don’t think it has anything to do with managing subscriptions and everything to do with dropping a little bit of money when you notice you’ve been enjoying something.

      I don’t know why people are downvoting you tho.
