I’m a GenZ-er, and I adblock everywhere I can. What makes the difference with YouTube premium for me is that I fall asleep to YouTube videos on a TV every night, and the advertisements alone can make that experience terrible because you can’t adblock YT on a TV as easily as elsewhere. Premium might be one of my best decisions I’ve made for a platform I spend so much time on. I still donate to Wikipedia and uBlock even if I pay the premium for other services.
I do the same, but it has to be on my phone, and last I checked that wasn’t an option with the screen off even with Premium. So I used Vanced (and now Revanced). I have moderate-to-severe tinnitus and this setup might have saved my life once or twice.
Youtube premium makes sense for me when combined in a family account for 5 with youtube music for 17.5 USD in total.
But besides that, fuck Google. Id pirate music if I wasn’t so lazy but Google diminishing anything of what I currently get would probably give me some energy.

Depents on your tv. There are good ways for some. S-tube next works for android tv for example, there is a way for webos too
Yeah I’ve tried this but the experience isn’t all there for me imo. It’s certainly a great project though.
For me its even better, cause they included sponsorblock aswell.
Typical genZ, getting those zzzz’s. That’s probably how they got the name.
so true

Who are you giving money to?
Huh, I must’ve misremembered.
UBlock asks that you give to the blocklist maintainers.
