I refuse to because in this case removing the ads doesn't solve the other half of the problem, which is tracking you to show you ads in other services that you can't pay for. I don't want ads anywhere, but if I pay for YouTube, Google will absolutely use the information I give them about videos to show me ads when I use search or maps, or any other of their products. I'm not interested in any of their ads anywhere and I'm not interested in having my activities tracked. I get no value from it. (And as such, I've stopped using their services entirely except when someone sends me a link to something they want me to see. When that happens, I use a quarantined browser with ad blocking.)
