I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Depending on what you use on your TV, SmartTube may be an option. It even blocks sponsored segments within YouTube videos.

SmartTube works pretty well

Oh, sorry! I'm totally not used to use YT on TV

I assume the response to this would be a pi-hole, but I just don’t personally have the patience, energy, or spare running machine to set that up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Pihole doesn't block YouTube ads.

Huh, didn’t know that 💪

Do the content creators still make money off of your views if you do not see an ad?

I use YouTube Premium with a family membership and have used all of the slots with family members. $33 a month isn't bad for 5 people to have ad free YouTube, still fund the content creators and also have YouTube Music.
