I pay for YouTube music, which also removes ads anywhere you are using YouTube with your logged in account. I was testing YT Music as a replacement for Spotify (since push notifications are broken and they apparently have no intention to fix). The YouTube experience of paid vs. non-paid is night and day, I highly recommend it.

That's the point. The bullies let you free if you cough up your lunch money on the way to the only cafeteria around.

No such thing as a free lunch. Nobody is forcing you to use their service either.

you know that content (specially well made content on youtube) is not free right? content creators spend money to create stuff for you to see.

so now, they need to recoup the money, or even better, earn a living through content they create. that's done either by ads, youtube premium or stuff like patreon.

would prefer that your favorite content creators stopped doing stuff you like because they can't earn a single cent on stuff they do?

Unpaid YouTube is a train wreck, it will place an ad mid song and completely wreck any sense of narrative in an otherwise great scene.

I download all my music from YouTube now and don't have to deal with their poorly thought out ux.

That hasn't been my experience (using GMusic) — Only on Music Videos do I not get advertisements. But I get them on everything else on Youtube.

Not sure what GMusic is, but you should not be seeing ads on Youtube if you're paying for Youtube Music.
