I don’t have a problem paying for ad free services - but why should we pay 3x or more of the revenue generated by the free tier? YouTube premium is $12/mo… there’s no way I would be watching $12 worth of ads a month at my current usage without adblock.

I’m definitely watching enough YouTube that $12/mo is a no-brainer to get many minutes of my life back.
Pricing is based on notions of value. The question is: why would you pay $12 to skip ads in the official app without any more fiddling? Many of us take that offer.
For me it's that the creators I watch get more money if I pay than watch ads and I get a better service (and extra services on top)
