    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.

      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.

      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.

      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
