It’s exclusive to YouTube. If I could pay less money for no ads on another video platform that has the same content, I would.

What? Most video content is exclusive to a single platform already? If you think HBO, Disney+, Netflix originals, etc., are too expensive, you don't have other options there either in paying less from someone else. Why should you expect to be able to do so??

If anything YouTube is the most open platform by far, because the vast majority of the content on there is owned by the creators, not YouTube, and thus it could be on other platforms, in a way that will never happen with the paid streaming services. Indeed this is even happening with CuriosityStream.
