Those ads support the people who created the videos; if you don't subscribe to ads "as a concept", then that's even more a reason to buy youtube premium--the content creators are losing out by your adblockers, not youtube

There's something called Patreon. Or about a bazillion of look-alike alternatives.

Why do I have to financially support content creators without question? Please explain this to me.

You don't have to. However if you support them they get enough money to make it worthwhile to do more. Some of the bigger ones make enough money that producing videos you like is their day job, if you don't pay them (ads count) then they will have to find a new job.

Only some. One of my favorite channels isn't sponsored at all, and is ad free.

Do you subscribe for paying for content? Cause with Youtube Premium you don't get ads, and the creators you watch get paid.

The only thing people like to complain more then ads is for paywalls, but content creators need to be paid somehow to be able to make a living.

Then perhaps you can, I don't know, avoid the sites that have ads?

No, I browse the web as usual, and don't see ads. The best of both worlds. Magic.
