If you feel that way, you should really be paying for YouTube premium, since that actually gives more money to the creators you watch than ads would. That's the one thing that sold me on it.

I agree with your thought process but supporting YouTube by paying for it after they intentionally enshitified it to the point where you want to is the entire problem.

Use an adblocker and donate directly to creators. If someone needs to steal my time to afford to run their business, then they can't afford to run their business.

Again, it's about supporting the creators without the absurdly high cost of several dozen Patreon subs, not about avoiding the ads. If I could pay $15/mo to Patreon and have it distribute a portion of that to 60 different people based upon how much of their content I viewed that month, that'd certainly be the way to go.

You don't have to support every creator. If they're making money they're fine, if their financial position is greater than yours, they don't need your financial support.
