    I will quite happily pay a reasonable price for the privilege of avoiding ads.

    I understand why people block ads, even though they are a a free tier, even if I don’t agree with it.

    The fact that the cost of YouTube Premium almost doubled overnight is making me rethink my ethics, when my current subscription is up for renewal, I will be reassessing whether to cease watching YouTube, watch YouTube with ads or determine another way of supporting content creators.
