I don't judge you, but when I actually can pay for a product that is as good as (or better) than pirated, then I don't mind paying.
For youtube I can. So I do. It's just a shame that so many industries give you a worse product than what you can pirate for free. I actually am willing to pay.
If I could pay the creators for what they make on YouTube, I would do so relatively cheerfully.
I have zero interest in giving money to a company that is actively trying to undermine everyone's privacy and security in the service of its own profit.
