Yeah YouTube premium is where I put my money where my is. Always said I would prefer if I could pay for content outright rather than be advertised to. Well, this is it.
Why do it if its free. Thats posturing
It's not free - if everyone blocked ads and nobody paid they would have no revenue, you are just freeloading by using stuff like vanced.
Youtube had no revenue for years, they dont NEED money magically right now.
If you can freeload something from a big co just do it. Its not a morality debate
