      While I basically agree with what you’re saying, I’d also like to point out that the money they get from you watching ads is miniscule. I don’t remember which YouTuber it was, maybe Matthias Wandell, who said that if you donate just one dollar, that’s more than they’re ever going to profit from you watching ads.

      Nah, I only ever liked YouTube because it was a site where complete randoms could share stuff for free

      I’m not interested in paying someone’s salary, I just want to watch people’s videos of their pets and kids and stuff like that
