Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.

No problem, I like supporting all the neat content creators I follow while others are happy to rip them off because they feel entitled to free content.

And don’t give me the “support them on patreon” line because a) I already do and b) ain’t no way the majority of you who pirate YouTube are donating money to everyone you follow.

You’re right, of course, however as consumers we’re put into the position of having to support an absolutely atrocious company AND creators, or not either. Given the option, I will choose the latter every time. When creators want to make their content available on other platforms, I do support them there.

Money paid to Google also goes to supporting Project Nimbus, which is why Google is on the BDS list.

I donate to the top percentile of those I follow, at least.

RedLetterMedia ain’t getting ad revenue. They curse too much and Mike is an alcoholic.

but to put it plainly, I’m morally bankrupt on victimless crime and I know they’re taken care of.

again, thank you.
