This is less like paying for a gym membership and more like paying some kind of fat-fairy not to come inject you with fat while you’re sleeping every night.

Paying for things that help you is good. Paying someone not to try to scam you is… fucked up.

Well, considering using YouTube is something you do out of your own, free will ... isn't it a bit like going to McDonalds, deliberately not ordering the water and the salad, and then taking legal action because they made you fat?

If you know a platform is not good for you, AND you are negatively affected by it ... the right move is not to use it.

“Here’s some free food”

Cool!

“And a side of literal shit, plus a slip of paper with the number of my cousin who’ll try to swindle you”

… coo… ool.

Quietly tosses the shit and phone number in the trash, keeps the free food
