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.

          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.

              Depends on if you donate to all the creators to watch or just a few.
