I have YT Premium and I really don't mind paying. I watch a LOT of YT and making sure the creators I follow get paid for their work is important to me.

People will say the amount they get paid is miniscule but I'd say it's better than nothing when you use an adblocker. Plus I also get YT Music.

YT Music is the GOAT. Their client is a bit sucky tho.

There are third party clients. And I agree. When I switched to YouTube music from Spotify, I found a lot more of the esoteric music that interests me.

Discoverability has been so much better with YTM that it was for spotify, personally. Preferred GPM and was super turned off of YTM for while because of the change, but now its more than good enough to me.

If you go the way of third party clients you're already getting most of the benefits whether you pay or not iirc

Or lack thereof in the desktop—the third party ones seem to be electron wrappers, so I might as well make a pinned tab on my browser instead.

I like how barebones it is overall though, I switched in 2020 because I felt Spotify was getting too bloated.

Patreon seems like a good alternative to support the creators.

I meant more for people not wanting to give in to Google but still support the creators

YouTube premium isn't the way to make sure the creators get paid, since you're sending that money to YouTube first. It's way better to donate them directly or buy their merch etc.
