Sounds like trouble for Newpipe, Sponsorblock, etc…

    I only pay capitalists what is absolutely necessary. I will pirate and steal until they go out of business and something that isn’t profit driven comes along.

      I doubt that will ever happen on a big enough scale. Running a video platform is hard and very expensive and making videos is hard and expensive for the creators.

        I’m happy to pay for creator-owned sites like Nebula, but Google, Facebook etc won’t see a single penny from me

          Sure I also use an adblocker everywhere but you should be aware that you are harming creators and not just the big companies.

            I use an adblocker and sponsorblock on YouTube. I also pay for Nebula and various Patreon subscriptions/KoFi donations. In the end, I’m confident creators got more out of me than many regular users, and I’m not giving money to Google all the while.
