Sign up for YT premium using a vpn to a cheap country. I pay $2 a month. Once you sign up you can cancel the vpn and it keeps the same price
but browser adblockers or alterate front ends are free
Premium does support the creators at least
The $2 - Google cut shared with who knows many creators...
Several creators I follow have independently said that a premium user in an order of magnitude or two more valuable for them than a regular ad supported user
Regular premium users don't pay $2
and a patreon sub gives them a larger portion of your money
I don’t feel like dealing with the hassle of side loading, and the browser is limited to 720p. It’s well worth my $2 a month
Sideloading is trivial on Android. If you're on iOS, it's a different matter.
