Virtually every content creator who depends on the content for their livelyhood has figured out some other way to monetize it (Patreon, Floatplane, Twitch, merch, etc). I use NewPipe and a PiHole so I practically never see YouTube ads, but I always make sure I'm paying the creators I watch regularly somehow. Of course, I don't even use NewPipe for its lack of ads. If Google improved their own app, maybe I'd go back to it.
