As a Red subscriber, I can tell you that the opposite is probably true. When there's no longer any risk of being annoyed by unskippable ads, you tend to click on a lot more video links (and waste a lot more time.)
YT Red is worth it IMHO.
Exactly this. I got some free time with youtube red when I got a nexus 6p. In spite of already having spotify, I purchased some more google play music all access (which includes Red) simply to keep the ad-free youtube.
There are ways to get it for $5/mo. I can't believe people don't do that if they watch more than a few hours/month of youtube.
