    I think YouTube is forcing content creators to be pawns in its war against its users and we should not fall for its tricks.

    Note that YouTube is still being paid for these views in spite of this “invalid traffic”. So they can easily solve this problem by altering their payment model. I don’t personally feel the need to take responsibility for their decision of how much to pay their employees.

    If I wanted to support a content creator that badly I would just donate to them directly. Ads are the real mind virus.

      Exactly, most creators have patreon, as a secondary option (not that it’s a full solution)
