And using services that need ads to survive by bypassing those ads does not help!

YouTube isn't what's dying, it's the organic, non-monetized, grassroots web that's being killed off. You know, the stuff that's actually interesting and cool and not trying to sell you anything.

I can't think of a single service that 'needs' advertising, and I need it. Youtube has a paid subscription, so does every stream service.

Have you tried disabling adblocks on youtube? It’s only not usable but downright malicious

I mostly watch YouTube on my phone and ads are reasonable. Usually 2 short ones at the start then nothing else.
