alt Hacker NewsWhy are you still paying for Youtube? I run uBlock and haven't seen ads in years, don't see any cellphone format crap now thanks to this list, and VacuumTube on my TV defaults to 4K.

i'm the same as you, but YT has started to place its content behind sign-in wall
Anon usage + uBlock and VPN, is a dead man walking

doesn’t work on iPad or iOS? Also not worth my time given how cheap it is

I'm not OP but I pay because I want to support content creators. It also removes ads from players that don't have blocking, such as Roku.
Of course there are other ways to support creators such as donating and buying swag. I do that too.
