I can watch Youtube without ads using an adblocker or NewPipe. Why anyone buys Premium is beyond me.

Could be one of the many reasons such as ensuring their favorite creators get paid for their views and end users not being tech savvy enough to know about ad blockers and NewPipe.

I can donate. No reason for Google to get most of it.

That's a good approach. But people aren't tech savvy enough to install NewPipe in order to avoid ads. Paying for YT premium is the most user friendly way to avoid ads and support creators.

That's a poor reason. Google takes a big cut, just pay the YouTuber(s) directly through their favourite donation service; most have at least one these days. This is like when people claim they pay for Spotify because they "care about supporting musicians". It's delusional at best and a straight up lie at worst.
