Comment on Google Ramps Up Crackdown on YouTube Ad-Blocking, Targets Third-Party Apps

To. Support. The. Creators. I. Watch.
Use sponsorblock then, I sure as hell do. My main goal is to get rid of as many problems as possible and creators not getting paid enough is on that list.
So I buy premium. I participate in the system because a tantrum doesn’t fix it.

Hard pass. I donate to good creators who provide me hours of content by buying them a coffee or supporting on Patreon.

Then may your videos be riddled with ads, sponsors, and one day throttled buffering speeds.

Ah, so pay for premium to support creators, but if you support creators in another way then that’s bad because… reasons.

Did you ask those creators how much money they get? Loads of them make way more from inserting advertisements themselves.
It’s also telling that you’re saying it’s about supporting those creators while responding negatively towards the person who blocks ads and gives money directly.

when I like a creator I give them a dollar instead of giving google a dollar so they can give a penny of it to the person who actually makes the thing I want
