YouTube is intensifying efforts to combat adblockers, including blocking video playback and warning users of potential account suspension.
Increased ads on YouTube have driven many users to adblockers, hurting both YouTube’s ad revenue and content creators reliant on ad-based income.
Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

I'd be willing to pay for their service if it didn't entail creating an account and letting me get tracked even further.

I don't know what the solution is, but ads isn't, a Google account isn't, but piracy isn't either.
