Why should I pay some extortionate fee each month on Google's monopoly? Even if I do that they're still hoovering up all the data they can get from me.

U-block Origin on desktop, revanced/newpipe for mobile.

IMO the money is much better spent on directly supporting content creators rather than padding the coffers of a 1.75 trillion dollar anti-competitive, monopolistic, tax-dodging, privacy-destroying company like Google.

Exactly, I whack out almost GBP 20 per month to content creators I like.

Spend the money where it will make a difference!
