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

    … Because the site you fucking watch them on needs to pay bills? Why are you all so selectively stupid on this point?

      YouTube can burn.

      They generate more money than whole countries and you want to give them more? I don’t have to pay them shit for them to make money off of me from my browsing history alone.

      I would rather speed forward the enshittification to the point that all creators decide to strike and hop over collectively to another, kinder, video hosting site.

      In the meantime Google benefits from my viewing data/history and sells that over and over. They’re making money hand over fist and then when you pay them for a “premium” experience you’re just handing them more. You’re already a cash cow for them with just using the site. Screw that noise.

      Give directly to the creator.
