Yeah but a good chunk of their income comes from YouTube, still. You can either put up with the ads/ad-blocking cat and mouse, or pay for Premium.

If you adblock you are objectively making creators lose money. I'm not trying to take a moral high ground on this, but be honest about what you're doing at least.

They are not entitled to money, therefore they can't "lose" money.

This whole "oh those poor creators" argument is ridiculous.

Most youtube content is trash. When you produce trash but feel entitled to receive money for that trash, what does that make you? This is not a proper, healthy mindset.

Why are you watching videos that are trash? I watch videos that I like.
