1. No ads
2. Free YouTube Music subscription (cancel your Spotify subscription)
3. Download videos and playlists to your device before a flight or other no-service scenario
4. Every time you watch a video, a proportional percentage of your subscription fee goes to that creator, no matter whether they are in a lucrative (i.e., ad-friendly) niche or not.
5. One less browser extension (or mobile app) I need to give permission to track my activity and worry it will be hacked or sold without me realizing it.

Giving 0.000005$ to a creator for me watching 20 minutes of video is still Google rent-seeking 5. Fair enough. But then I'm trading one browser extensions that might track me (but that doesn't) for the certainty that Google will absolutely track me to vomit out more shitty AI recommended playlists. Not sure it's worth the tradeoff.
