    A lot of channels exist as a natural extension of an already existing business. I’m not going to support Google and the mass dregs that create clickbait garbage and predatory content that takes advantage of the algorithm in order to make as much money from ads as possible.

    Not all content deserves to be monetized. Google isn’t entitled to make money by simply hosting reaction videos and hyperbolic political commentary.

      “simply hosting”

      You sir don’t have the slightest idea of what an immense operation “simply hosting” those videos is.

        I also don’t gaf. If YouTube wants to host a pile of garbage then that’s on them. I’m not paying for it.

      I don’t know what that means

      Then pay and show Google that their business model needs to change. If you pay, then their incentive is not to maximize watch time, which is probably why you have a lot of clickbait trash. Or don’t watch YouTube.

      Google isn’t entitled to make money by simply hosting reaction videos and hyperbolic political commentary.

      And you aren’t entitled to watch videos without ads and without paying. Choose one.

        I’ll watch the videos I want to watch without watching ads and without paying and no amount of fuckery is going to stop me.

          Fine just know that this is entitled behavior and you’re just perpetuating the ad-block ad-block-redtector rat race.

            Just know that creating and hosting content and expecting to be paid for it is entitled behavior. It’s no different than panhandling.
