I will never pay for youtube while sponsor block is not part of the default app and downvoted are visible.
YouTube can't have sponser block as that is not part of YouTube.
Frankly, I find most YouTube content to be super obnoxious, so I would not pay for it anyway. I already barely ever use YouTube outside of trailers and music videos.
