I'm more than happy to pay for Youtube Premium to remove ads for all the family and ensure content creators can monetize their work.

I refuse to, because we all know where that road ends. YouTube pilots brief pre-roll ads for Premium users. Then mid-roll ads. Then longer ads. Then they open the floodgates. Google reliably acts with contempt for its users, I'm only responding accordingly.
