You could donate that money and still have no ads. Google doesn't need it
That's too much trouble for the 20 or so creators I watch. I primarily comsume media via YouTube so its much more economical than having cable was and I still was pushed ads. Most of the comments seem to disassociate the consuming from the compensating creators. It has gotta happen somehow and 10$ a month is easy.
