As in, would the channel be losing out on money? Because I don’t want to take away from small creators if there is a retention rate for viewership of that exact segment, but I would prefer to skip any of the “but first check out this shitty mobile game”.

    Damn paying $15 for a service that is almost the sole source of my daily entertainment, crazy

    It’s not difficult. I like thing. I pay for thing so thing sticks around.

        Why wouldn’t I pay for something that I enjoy? I am fully aware of the cost of adblock and piracy, and I’ve decided that if I’m going to use adblock, then I’m going to pay for services I legitimately enjoy. I don’t bother with one-off services or things I rarely use, but I’m perfectly fine paying for things. I’m not hurting for cash.

        Making enough money to live and also expecting everything for free is just greed.

          Google makes more than enough to live, yet they demand more and you give it to them? How is that not greed.

            If I’m blocking ads and not paying for premium, the channels I watch make absolutely nothing on my view. It doesn’t sit right with me to consume content without giving anything in return. Paying for premium, which distributes half of what I pay to the creators I watch, fulfills that well enough that I’m fine paying for it. YouTube Music is just a bonus.

            You watching it for free is not only taking money from Google but taking money from the channels you watch. Do whatever you want, I don’t care, but at least understand the consequences of your actions. I for one don’t like the idea of doing it, myself.

          I’d rather be greedy than give my money to the likes of Google, Spotify, etc. I’m not hurting for cash either, I just like shit for free. But hey as long as we have goody two shoes like you us pirates can continue getting what we want for free so keep it up!

            I’m not paying to give money to Google, I’m paying for no ads on any devices (including my NVIDIA Shield) and more importantly half of the fee goes to the creators I watch.

            I’m perfectly happy stealing from billion dollar corporations.

            I’m not happy stealing from small businesses.
