Most content creators have links to support them with donation or patreon.

Once a year choose 3 small youtubers (larger ones are already multi-millioners, they don't need your help) and drop them $5 each.

Now you just did 1000% of what they could get from you watching ads.

what's insane, even $1 is more than they'll get from you watching every single one of their videos. The issue is processing fees on that payment, so might as well give em a bit more.

It's wild how low the payout on ads is. Seriously, just flip people $1 every once in a while and it's more support than ads.

It's so stupid how people get all morally superior when they figure out that someone block ads.
