I would argue you also pay with your time, what percentage of total view time is wasted on long intros, sponsored plugs and telling people to do all the typical social media stuff which has nothing to do with real content.

Thankfully, there is a wonderful extension for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/

Try it, and you will for a brief moment feel like when you installed a regular adblocker the first time 15 years ago: "WOW". With this + ublock origin + youtube enhancer, the site is a completely different experience.

It's the experience I would happily pay for, if it wouldn't mean giving away my whole life to Google's monster AI.
