I pay for a youtube premium family plan. Best money I spend monthly. I want to support the youtube creators that I watch, I don't have to see ads (I block them anyway), and I get a music service included.
revanue from yt premium views is like 1000x from ad views. that's probably only going to get larger.
if you dont believe in paying for your media then you give power to the advertisers.
