There is a paid version, and it's good value for money in my view.
I would probably pay for Youtube if they stopped sabotaging their own platform and making it worse (e.g. adding shorts, releasing those horrible Rewind videos, preventing playlists with "content made for kids" (e.g. every music video of a song from some Disney movie), mixing in unrelated content into the search results,...).
While I agree, in terms of actual streaming performance and the player, YouTube hasn’t made that worse yet and I hope they never do.
YouTube is very impressive from a technical perspective, regardless of the user experience.
I haven't seen one of those Rewind videos in years, are they still a thing?
