Just pay to remove the ads

That makes the privacy issues with YouTube worse. They can link your YouTube watch history with your identity

Honestly agreed. I hate that we don't have a good open alternative to YT, but as long as you can afford it buying premium seems like a decent alternative.

@normalmighty @RagingRobot, well, you can use front-ends like CloudTube, Invidious instances, Piped or an Desktop client like FreeTube.
You can also watch YouTube sandboxed searching the video with Andisearch and viewing it in the search results.

Sure I could but I could also just pay $8 or whatever it is and the creators that I watch get a small portion of the money. I like them tracking the videos I watch so that I can look back and find the ones I liked.
