In many ways, yes absolutely. By being a mindless consumer “just buying a product”, you leave it up to the balancing of the economy to determine if that is a wise decision or not.
Last I checked, giving a rich person even more money is always a stupid move.
The end of YouTube would not be a terrible outcome. Instead of a worldwide monopoly on DIY video, new and perhaps less evil options would have a chance.

I’m not a mindless consumer (aka sheeple) for making a decision someone else doesn’t approve of.
The alternatives to YouTube Premium are
Ads: won’t happen
Ad-Block: won’t work (anymore)
no YouTube: there are no great free or cheaper alternatives
“I’m not a mindless consumer! I just said I’ll pay for something I don’t have to, to a corporation that doesn’t need the money, that’s all!”
Where do I get the same content where the creators get paid too?
I can currently choose between other paid services or systems that circumvent any gratification for the artists.
Patreon, Odyssey, substack. I’m sure there’s more, tbh
