There's a ton of educational content only on YT and so it's a part of our homeschool curriculum. My kids were getting a lot of super inappropriate ads a while back, so I got premium to avoid all ads.
What homeschool curriculum provider are you using?
Acton and we participate in a state program and several private programs depending on the kids' interest.
Yup, that's how I see it too. I don't like seeing ads, the creators do at least get more money, and the actual value I get out of YouTube is pretty high
Not to mention not every creator will have a patreon anyway so this covers that scenario as well.
