    Yeah, you don’t make them or creators money. You arent the customer, you are a free loader who costs them money.

    Deal with it or God forbid pay.

      YouTube’s greedy decisions are pulling me away from YouTube and towards the creator-owned Nebula platform. It’s fairly inexpensive, I’m supporting creators and not Google, and there are no ads.

        Tldr business did a video on their inckne sources, Nebula views get them much more money per view than YT. However YT is still their main income. I really hope Nebula picks up more popularity

      I support the creators by buying merchandise and supporting Kickstarter etc. and others support using Patreon.

      With those miniscule amounts Google pays to their creators (except the top 0.01%) I estimate that what I have brought is equal to 100-1000x of what they would have gotten from ads. And I’m no saint at supporting, there’s people giving 100x more than me.

        And they don’t give a fuck about you bitching and lost times.

        See how that works? None of your pay, don’t be surprised the service sucks for you.
