    It's still the highest value streaming service out there and worth even more than that. Atleast for me it is. I still wont pay for as long as adblocker works but when they inevitably prevent me from using it, I'll subscribe. I have zero moral arguments for why I should be getting this all for free. YouTube essentially is the internet for me.

      So much content on YouTube are just commercials. Makeup tutorial? Infomercial for makeup. Game streaming? Commercial to buy said game. Painting lessons? You guessed it: commercials for art supplies and specific brands. Very, very little content isn't sponsored and is the creator just shitposting.

      Now, I happen to like some of these commercials that are also tutorials, product reviews, etc. but I sure as shit am not paying YouTube for the privilege.
