Can you not just make sure YouTube gets none of your money by using a front end that strips out all ads and sponsored segments? My kids watch YouTube but they’ve never seen an ad.

I pay for YouTube premium. Although I'd prefer to find an EU alternative, I really have no problem paying for a service that I consider worth the price.

A red flag for me, is if I'm paying for a service and they still show me adverts.

Google's been attacking those lately, mostly to success (Piped and Invidious are effectively dead, ViewTube is also dead, and FreeTube's a target now).
