Ah yes, experience a <15 second loading buffer...
Or watch potentially multiple entire minute long, unskippable adverts.
Honestly part of me has considered paying for YouTube premium - but aside from not having to fight off ADs, I don't care about the other perks, and am more than happy to just give to the creators directly without Google getting a cut.
Same, any creators that I seriously follow on YouTube also get a Patreon sub from me.
I considered paying for it but the cost vs benefit just wasnt there.
To prevent a few ads playing vs blocking those ads anyway for free.
yeah nah.
I’ll close and reopen a video multiple times until it goes straight to the video before I watch an ad.
ProTube is solid, and the SponsorBlock extension is also nice.
Per view, YouTube premium pays more then add supported ones. How much exactly I dont know.
But it's all relative. For example Patrion would be a much better way of supporting a creator
