Youtube made 8.9 billion last quarter in ad revenue. That's almost 100 million a day.
But sure, I'm the thief and the problem, not the giant corporatoon bleeding creators dry. What a joke.
Are you offering a cheaper way or more payout? Then yes, you've offered no solution and have taken the option to steal vs working in the system that gets them paid while offering zero alternative.
Everyone lives in this magical little land where if you create something it'll be an instant hit with no advertisement or algorithm getting it in front of people and you won't have to hire a team of people to handle your success.
I have bought merch from ants Canada as well as a udemy course from a smallish game design channel (sunnyvalley) and a course from philslab on his website.
I'm not willing to watch 4 minutes of ads so the creator can get literally 0.01 $. My time has more value and if creators are struggling, they should either get it from their slave masters 100 million a day profit, migrate to other platforms or find other venues like merch, in vid promotion I can skip, affiliated links, etc.
I won't play googles monopolistic games. I live an ad free life. Ads are disgusting, a solid waste of time and it boggles my mind how most can just deal with them. It's literally manipulation out in the open, wtf?
Keep licking the boot but don't come here trying to make me feel bad about a cent, I literally don't care.
You'll just steal from them because the system is broken. Got it.

You clearly have taken offense to me calling out the behavior. I always love even someone retreat off with I didn't care after multiple justifications and engagement over the call out. Amazing.
I take no offense, I just think it holds no ground. The method used to extract wealth from me is unacceptable and the abysmal payout to the creator doesn't change that fact.
Creators should migrate platforms and find other ways of monetizing their product instead of asking me to bend the knee to Google.
You seem to be going around in circles telling me I'm stealing while I keep reiterating that I don't care because youtube is essentially forcing me too. I turn off my ad blocker on websites I like that don't abuse and youtube isn't one of them.
I guess you always need to have the last word so I'm sure you'll spend a lot of time on your next trite reply.
You definitely literally don't care π€£.
That's literally what I have been saying since the beginning.
Don't be a child Challenge (impossible): Don't respond to this comment even if your ego is screaming you lose if you don't (You have already lost the argument).
Definitely not a care in the world
Challenge failed.
Insert 0.01 $, watch a small 2 minute ad or comment to retry.
You definitely still don't care

Oh no, he gave up! Good. He was stealing replies anyway. Did you even get the .01$ from all his replies? God, I hate thieves.
Ahaha. He literally responded a minute after you. Some have a difficult time understanding when they are being made a fool of.
No offense, but I feel like this sort of also applies to you here, too.

If you don't rebuke idiocy, it just festers imo. But to each his own. I was mostly having a laugh in any case, not like I went so low as to start posting emojis or something.
You really didn't care
I mean its pretty obvious you're a troll.. But lets just go ahead and follow your line of argument. How is he cheaping out if he gave the creators he supported way more money through merch than they would have ever received through YT ad revenue?
