My comment was in response to : "You can also pay for YouTube. I do. It’s nice, not crazy expensive. No ads. Creators get paid. Everyone wins."

"then don't use youtube" is a non-sequitur to that.

But there are still ads. You still get the ones the creators put in. That alone shouldn't happen, there should be a requirement for creators to upload sponsorfree vids that only premium subscribers can see. That would be a whole lot fairer.

After all the creators already get paid more for premium views.

You can have zero finger nails pulled out if you don't watch YouTube...

Still a non sequitur. Irrelevant. The comment claimed that paying for youtube makes it good. Not using youtube does not address the claim thst paying for it makes it good.
