That's nice of you, but it appears that the ad-supported business model doesn't work. It just results in enshittification and surveillance.
"We cannot have a society in which, if two people wish to communicate, the only way that it can happen is if it's financed by a third person who wishes to manipulate them."

No one will ever pay for services like YouTube. Thus ads is the only way.
Plenty of people pay for cable and streaming services lol, what are you on about?
YouTube has a paid subscription which is ad free and with additional features. How many of you here, who complain about ads, use YouTube Premium? Mmm?
A friend of mine pays for it, yes.
"A friend of a friend". Cool story. So far it's just one person here who pays to get rid of ads. And 1.45k upvotes for the post.
No, a friend. Not a friend of a friend. And I'm sure many folks here she'll out the extra few bucks on stuff like Hulu to get the ad free version. Not sure what the hell you're on about.
Youtube is my main source of entertainment. I will pay for premium no problem. And yes, I totally hate ads. A music service for free with it that has a comment section so I can discuss the music with my peers. Also, it's insane the amount of data YouTube has to serve.
