I can’t pass a level without paying, completely unfair!

You are right. I don't know why the moderators are still posting these videos here any more. The YouTube videos don't help because all they show you is what WOULD be possible with a "lucky board". But the problem is the game won't give you such "lucky" boards any more. These videos just illustrate to what an extent the game is rigged. We don't get boards with colour bombs miraculously dropping from the top just when you need them most now, do we?

I found your reply helpful.

I'm on Level 4801 and I have never paid and WILL never pay to use this app or any others. The way I move through this game is to try it on my own merit, but if I am super close to winning it before running out of lives, is to use my accumulated boosters and every once in a while, my gold bars. But I am a patient person and I'll keep playing until I can win that level, but not on the same day. I only play this once or twice a day. Also, back when I was on some of the earlier levels, I would put in a search for Google and ask how to win Level XYZ and I found not only the YouTube videos that you were mentioning, but complete explanations on tips and tricks. Hope this helps.

Good evening, we are aware of these problems in the game. I just use the boosters received in games and that I receive daily. And so I have passed some levels.
