    You don’t need to pay a subscription fee to watch YouTube. What are you even talking about?

      He was discussing options where people oppose both ads and subscriptions as methods of payment for consumed media.

      IMO YouTube Premium is the only subscription that I will probably never cancel as not only does it pay more to content creators than ad revenue does (per individual viewing), it directly financially supports the hundred-odd creators I enjoy (large and small).

      If the cost is too high for you to justify, you can band together with friends to split the costs of a Family Plan and/or do as I do and VPN back to my home country where the cost is significantly less than it is where I live now!
