    So the alternative is to manage a subscription for every single creator I watch? Currently I sub to Nebula and YT premium. For ~$20 a month. If I were to go through and sub to every creator I watch’s lowest patreon tier, we’d be talking about dozens of individual subs totaling probably more than double what I pay now.

    So your suggestion is to manage 15 subscriptions instead of one? Not every creator has a patreon or means of direct support. Not to mention some of these creators only upload once a year. And what happens when I want to watch someone new? Do I have to drop another creator to give this new person money

    If you’re watching youtube and signed into an account you said goodbye to that level of privacy so long ago that an ad blocker isn’t going to do much.

    Just out of curiosity, what do yall expect to happen when the only response to an ad supported free tier of something, is to block the ads? I know YouTube/google aren’t great companies, but when you run an ad blocker you also deprive the creators you love watching any revenue from your view. So you hurt the creators. If you can afford it, just sub to premium and stop acting like you’re entitled to everything for free. I despise ads just as much if not more than the next dipshit, but complaining about them, when there’s myriad ways of avoiding them, just makes you sound like a dingus.

    Obligatory shout out to Nebula as a cheaper alternative for non-fiction/edutainment content.
