The advertisers aren't getting money by showing you ads unless you buy something, unless you mean YouTube which I think still takes a cut. Also I've been getting 'recommendations' for videos like those from channels I haven't even subscribed to so it's almost certainly not my favourite creator they're trying to get me to throw money at.
The YouTube main page is already usually about 16-20% ads (although every now and then it's less) I don't like having even fewer serious recommendations.
edited to fix my second paragraph, thank you
