This was maybe 5 or so years ago, but I remember Game Grumps did mention something along the lines of how they get more from someone watching their video on YouTube premium vs someone who watches their videos with ads playing.

It’s still not a ton of info, and I’m not sure if it’s still true. Or maybe it’s different for every channel or something.

That’s why I still use Vanced. Sponsorblock is something I can’t live without even though I have YouTube premium.

Otherwise you end up playing server whack-a-mole

That’s always been a thing in the fediverse. Most instances have a rather large blacklist to block out stuff such as nazi subs and racist subs and worse.
