Watching ads on YouTube is really not an option for me. And I’m not sure I would pay for premium unless the recommendation algorithm gets much much better…

Why even consider paying Google anything?

Just get a better adblocker.

That might kill my reliance on YouTube, or get me to seek a FOSS YouTube intermediary.

It’ll be interesting to see how this works with ReVanced, which is technically their own app, just stripped of the ads and sponsors. Can’t be dinged for adblocking when they’re never served up to begin with.
