> Are we ok with working for free? No, which is why I decided to pursue a career where I'm paid based on a salary, protected by employee rights (even if limited in the US), and not beholden to a single corporation's platofrm to perform my job. Most of the youtubers I watch aren't making a living off of it, and the few that do are able to do so because they've monetized outside of the YouTube platform. Nothing you say will make me feel a single twinge of guilt over using ad blockers.

Do you support the YouTubers you watch through the alternative channels then?

  Most YouTubers have sponsors who they mention in the video. If there must be advertising, I prefer that kind, because the creator gets 100% of the revenue.

  I do, for the ones I watch regularly. Sadly, I do this through Patreon, which appears to be dying.
