the YouTube experience is far less annoying on average.

Are you sure about that?

I opened YT links without premium on a new browsers and holy moly! I got 1-3 minute unskippable ads every time.

I immediately clicked them off, of course.

You can tune out and do something passive while the ad plays, and eventually the information you wanted will appear, as opposed to trying desperately to find your article as you scroll and having pop ups and other things interrupt you as you read. Perhaps this is all just a matter of perspective though.

Joke's on the websites, as I run Cromite, so no pop ups or anything.

...But also, most of the written web is trash now.
