Somehow paying for Netflix is fine but god forbid I want to watch a 10 hour loop of the DS9 intro without ads.

Moral reasons

🙄

A corporation can blatantly violate the law, bribe politicians, ignore its TOS whenever its suits them, but a second somebody wants to use a heavily subsidised service without being assaulted by advertising, a gaggle of concern trolls pop up to lecture about "stealing service". Buddy, simping for Alphabet will get you nowhere.

If you are against them on a moral basis then use another service, I imagine that has a more negative impact on them. If you just want no ads, pay for it.

I hate ads as much as the next guy and use a variety of blockers but i'll pay for any service with a reasonable payment method.

What other service will let me watch YouTube videos?

Specifically youtube-videos? None. For similar videos there are a bunch of services, at least to watch for entertainment purpose.
