    I legit hate this take. YT was started as a way for everyone to share videos with each other, not be a corporate pusher for those that want to ‘go big’. The fact that YT even offered profit sharing is awful.

    Yeah, go ahead and support who you like. But don’t sit there and be like “you’re hurting them if you don’t pay them and you don’t want their bullshit ads”. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. “creators” who “make a living” from YT are the reason YT is a cesspool of dogshit now. If you aren’t on YT because of a genuine desire to simply share videos, without expecting monitary kickbacks to support your life, gtfo. The support should come naturally through other avenues.

      you could have just saved all of that when you read my comment. “unless you support that creator in some other way” you know, like your mentioned natural other avenues?
