I have been signed up for YouTube Premium for a long time (and Red before that). I never see ads as a result and I support the platform and it’s creators.
Same. I watch at least 60 hours of Youtube every week. Either in the background or actively watching. I don't mind paying for a service that I am constantly using. I know I'm likely in the minority, but it's something I don't mind paying.
A few years ago my YouTube account was suspended (without warning, IIRC, and for a templated reason), and the message they sent me told me not to start another account to evade the ban (and I haven't). FWIW I soon after joined niconico and Vimeo, and took an interest in Wikicommons videos and Internet Archives.
