I'm the opposite. I'm happy to pay for premium when logged in, but I don't like the echo chamber being built so I prefer to watch logged out, in which case I'd get ads without the adblocks
(As a point of pride, lest I be intrepteted as a corporate simp, I should add that this is an account I use entirely for leisure browsing and that's disconnected from the rest of my identity. I created it with Apple HideMyEmail and avoided supplying any phone number by setting up 2fa with a virtual WebAuthn device so I could setup a TOTP code, then generated that and saved it to my psssord manager.)
You don't have to run WebAuth on a VPS, you can use it on your PC/Mac or even on your phone..!
