Or you do support those and they introduce ads later.

Unfortunately for users, advertisers will keep throwing money at the problem until the provider finds it attractive enough to add ads, or the provider builds up the user base to make it attractive for ad revenue. Same result.

Then you got fleeced I guess. But it doesn't have to happen this way. Existence of Nebula is a good example. Fortunately it also has some of my favorite YouTubers. I pay for premium but if YouTube ever pisses me off, it will take 5 mins for me to cancel and move to nebula.

Nebula has about 11 videos. You tube was named you-tube because it was you and me on the tube. I can't go frictionlessly upload and then share a video on Nebula, nor can I see you on Nebula.

Nebula is nice and all but it is not an actual answer to the problem of current youtube.
