  It's not just advertisements, though -- individual creators run sponsors, Patreons, and their own midroll ads. A pretty crazy percentage of YouTube is ads, even with uBlock Origin.

    Yeah, that's how the creators fund themselves. (I'd prefer if YT would prevent creators for advertising in Premium videos, but I bet that would not be accepted happily either.)
