After having been through the progressive worsening of YouTube and its player over the years, my position is now the same as that about pirating movies around 2005: enough bullshit, I’ll behave when they do. Same as for targeted ads on the web. At some point, appeal to emotion is not enough considering the hostility and dishonesty of some actors.

In the meantime, I support people I watch regularly on Patreon, imperfect as that is.
