I think there's no tenable solution unfortunately, but for me personally, as a viewer, I'd be happy to watch a single start video ad if I knew a half decent proportion went to the creator.
But with the way YouTube is to the creators, how unfair and unbalanced they are with copyright, the clear vision that they're not doing things for the people but for corporate (removal of dislike count), I have no guilt continuing to block ads and essentially give the finger to the platform.
Once all the major creators I watch move to a better platform, I'd be rid of YouTube entirely in my life and I hope that's what happens on a major scale.
