Well, just pay for the subscription. It gives you youtube music as well, and you can share it with several other people. It just a few bucks a month, totally worth it.

I have YT Premium, still have to skip through ads (sponsored blocks in creators videos).

There are few great creators without them, but these ranks are shrinking fast.

    Check out the browser extension SponsorBlock which automatically skips over the length of such inline sponsorships (database is maintained manually but does a great job).

The problem isn't the ads, the problem is the (suggested) content. (And the ads.)

There it is, the "Just pay for YouTube" person inevitably shows up like usual on HN YouTube threads.

OP addressed this already: "But then again - it is mostly crap so why bother. Perfectly fine with less YouTube in my life."

    Odd take. YouTube has just about anything you might be interested in, in abundance. Even if it is "mostly crap" there would probably still be more non-crap than you could consume in your lifetime.

Why would you want your credit card and real name connected to your consumption history?

Watch too much Daily Wire? Good luck with your Google interview.

Want to enter the US on a visa? Perhaps they'll demand your YouTube history next.
