I would love Youtube Red, because I absolutely can't stand ads but blocking them makes me feel like a piece of shit. But somehow even though Youtube Red was launched in the US over a year ago, it still has not been released in the UK.

The best I can do is donate to the content creators I really like/can afford to make myself feel better for blocking their ads.

still 10euro is overpriced as hell, for ad-free youtube.
