You could just pay for youtube premium?

Does youtube even advertise it? I would guess I would have to go into my profile and find it there, but I've never seen it mentioned by youtube.

Edit: Also, I think many are jaded by cable where you pay and still get ads. Hulu has an ad-free tier, but I forget the history and if that's existed from the start. I do remember there being a lot of outrage about paying and still getting ads at some point.

I pay for YouTube Premium in Rupees. It's £1.36 a month.

One of the weird things tho, is that I didn't see Ads with Ad Blocker. Is there some regional thing that ad blocker doesn't work in the USA but it works elsewhere?

No dark pattern there.

How else do you suggest youtube pays its costs? It probably uses more bandwidth and quite possibly more storage than just about any other website on the net.

I have no idea what you are referring to. This has never ended badly for consumers. Why, I remember when cable came out. For a small monthly fee we could get rid of all the advertising. That turned out ... just... oh wait. Okay, then Sirius Satellite! All those ads on the radio? Just get Sirius at a small monthly fee, and bam! All ads will... be... gone... forever... Well, uhmmm... Okay. Never mind. /s
