Regarding YT, it’s a different service than Netflix so not as comparable IMO.

I think YT is much more valuable to human civilization in general. If we consider it as a knowledge bank which has everything from learning a new recipe to something as specific as operating a drill to empowering content like lecture videos on coursework. Recently I saw professional quality BBC like nature documentaries on YT.
The importance of it is far more and that's why I think the subscription revenue potential is also far more.
Whether they can convince people to go ad free and pay for it is a different matter. My friend who pays for Apple Music, Netflix, Disney+, iCloud and a bunch of other subscriptions was complaining about YT ads. It boggled my mind that considering his usage, he didn't pay for the premium plan.

Netflix might be a safer bet, for that reason. I think many people, including people with standing and influence, would prefer Earth's public repository of historical video not be under the control of one amoral, ad-driven monopoly.Netflix still has competitors, and the stakes are lower.
Bottomline, people who don't like YouTube are seriously underutilizing it's potential to change your life, make money, learn something
For now I've restored your comment, I can't do much more than that.
"people who don't like YouTube"
Whether people like Youtube isn't that relevant to my comment. The argument for breaking up Bell's monopoly in the 1980s wasn't "I dislike telephony"
