You also give money to the creators you watch by watching ads or watching with YouTube premium. You also can't block ads on iPhones, which a majority of the developed world uses. My girlfriend has never watched a YouTube video on something other than an Apple device for example.

    Without loading the image up in an editor and comparing color values, I can't tell which countries have a majority there. Looking it up myself, the third hit for "iphone market share" (the top two did not have a breakdown per country) is https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/iphone-market-share-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/iphone-ma... which shows how flawed this notion is: from a quick look, honduras, dominican republic, and albania are listed as over 50% but rich countries like the netherlands, germany, and new zealand are not Anyway, it's also the user's own choice if they want a closed ecosystem. I find it relatively irrelevant if someone chooses a jail and then complains that the jailer is too strict and they can't run the ad blocker software they want: that's the deal they picked and they're free to choose an open platform any day of the week.
