Monetizing leads to being able to pay bills. Don't you think authors deserve being paid for the content if they wish so? Besides Google managing of youtube is cause of shittiness. Personally I would be fine with a subscription as long as artists get most of it.

it doesn't need to be built in. there's already a section to add Support links.

How do support links work?

just external links to donate sites, patreons, Kofi, etc.

Yeah, that does not and will not work, at least not on scale. Think about an average user - do you think he/she will donate to each video he/she watches, perhaps on TV? But if the model is a subscription one (think Netflix, Tidal, Spotify, heck, perhaps even YouTube and so on, with amount being fairly distributed to authors), then it just might work.

cool, good luck with that. i'm happy the way it is.
