Honestly I would probably pay for it and be happy but Premium doesn't solve many of the problems that still exist:
etc. etc. All problems Google could solve easily but simply won't.
They finally lost me completely when I loaded a music video marked "adult" for language and it demanded I upload ID on an account that was legally an adult.
I made that account in 1999, it's not even from this millennium, and they still derp out on it. I'm getting close to 50, at this point, and the only thing ads, age verification, and extreme right wing content on top of state sponsored disinformation campaigns will get you is a blacklist.
We should have seen it coming, I mean they used to have the "Don't be evil" motto, removing that was a declaration of intent.
Considering YT didn't even start until 2005, I call BS 😁. Not to mention I don't think they would've had accounts from the get go unless you wanted to upload videos.
