I agree, but it's quite hard not to pay for YouTube when you have kids and they watch it on television.

Here a potential “nice” lesson: teach them to leave behind something they like. Now, that takes something (even for adults)

With streaming balkanized into so many individual providers, it's hard to pay for more than a couple.

So the Grandson has learned to discriminate ads from content, and as soon as an ad comes one, we all chorus, "Stinky Ad!" and then everyone rushes to be the first person to get to the remote and skip it.

It's not a perfect solution, but it's what we have.

You could also pay for Premium, it's very good value for money.

I don't pay. First they learned how to use mute button on rc, then they stopped using YT because of too many ads.

Rip with yt-dlp into Plex or Jellyfin server.

It’s very easy to get kids to break habits.
