I'm more than happy to pay for Youtube Premium to remove ads for all the family and ensure content creators can monetize their work.
Fuck that.
My household uses Newpipe we don't pay for shit.
Stealing from creators shouldn't be celebrated.
If watching with an adblocker is stealing because the video creator doesn't get ad revenue, is not watching also stealing, since they also don't get revenue? If not, how is one taking from them and the other not? What have they lost in the first case but not in the second?
