It's one or the other. If you pay YouTube for Premium and don't get any ads, advertisers don't pay for your ad impression.

wish there was an option for "pay the platform the few cents the ads make" instead of me paying the platform a wild and ever increasing amount of money

Tbh I feel like they should take a ~30% cut from the creator tips feature and add that to a "ad balance" which would remove ads and subtract the few cents they would've got from the ad. That way YouTube gets paid, the consumer doesn't get ads, and the creator gets encouraged to make good content.

Most YouTube channels have a Patrion account, or something similar.

My biggest gripe about Patreon is that I can't just do a one time donation, it's a subscription to donate money to people. Cool and all, but I'm not rich enough to just give some of my income to people, I'd rather do small donations whenever I can.

I didn't know it was a sub. Yeah that ruins the appeal.

Also Patreon takes a sizeable cut too

You can sub and unsub anytime. You just lose out the "perks" of being subbed the next month.
