The alternative exists, but it costs money. Most big YouTuber accounts (at least the ones I'm subscribed to) post on either Nebula, Patreon or some platform like that. It would cost quite a lot to subscribe to them all, but still less than YouTube premium in my country. So in the worst case scenario where YouTube really blocks all ad free interfaces except paid use, that's my answer. I don't like it as I think a lot of the content is overpriced for what it is, but it's better than having $$$ swallowed up by some mega corporation that is just interested in screwing authors and viewers over as much as possible.
